The Pounding Truth Lyrics by ​sElf

Ornament & Crime

2017

[Verse 1]
I get up out of bed, get some coffee, go to work
I go from best to better to bad into worse
I can't hang, I can't hang, I can't hang out with you
'Cause in the middle of my head is the pounding truth

[Chorus]
(In this life) we're living
We're just riding the coattails, riding the coattails
(In this life) we're living
There's no wind under our sails, riding the coattails

[Verse 2]
In the dirtiest of towns, it's a raggedy scene
I go to buy my breakfast, got no money left to spend
I can't fly, I can't fly, I can't fly 'round the room
'Cause in the middle of my head is the pounding truth

[Chorus]
(In this life) we're living
We're just riding the coattails, fighting tooth and nail
(In this life) we're living
There's no wind under our sails, riding the coattails

[Break]
In this life

[Chorus]
(In this life) yeah, we're living
We're just riding the coattails, riding the coattails
(In this life) hell yeah, we're living
There's no wind under our sails, riding the coattails
(In this life) we're just living
(In this life) we're just living
