BLACK SOUL Lyrics by Shinedown

ATTENTION ATTENTION

2018

[Verse 1]
Who's the victim now?
Stand up and take a bow, a bow
Face right, face left
Face everyone you disrespect
So, who's the asshole now?
Holier-than-thou, you're not
'Cause baby's got a black soul
Got a black soul, got a black soul
[Pre-Chorus]
You made a mess of your life
And you've been burned once or twice
Now you play roulette with a water gun
[Chorus]
Wake up!
Pull yourself together
Speak up!
'Cause no one heard your name
Erupt!
It's better late than never
And it might take forever
To put you back together
[Post-Chorus]
Face right, face left
Face everyone you disrespect
[Verse 2]
Now they're on their feet
To watch you double down hard
And take it too far
And you know you're in too deep
'Cause you're running out of time
And you're talking in your sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Baby's got a black soul
Baby's got no control
Baby's got a black soul
Got a black soul, got a black soul
You made a mess of your life
And you've been buried alive
Now you play roulette with a water gun
[Chorus]
Wake up!
Pull yourself together
Speak up!
'Cause no one heard your name
Erupt!
It's better late than never
And it might take forever
To put you back together
[Guitar Solo]
[Refrain]
Oh…
Oh…
[Chorus]
Wake up!
Pull yourself together
Speak up!
'Cause no one heard your name
Erupt!
It's better late than never
And it might take forever…
Wake up!
Pull yourself together
Speak up!
'Cause no one heard your name
Erupt!
It's better late than never
And it might take forever
To put you back together
