Shoes Lyrics by The Scratch

Mind Yourself

2023

[Verse 1]
I wouldn't dare
To walk down that path again
You wouldn't dare
To call me a man
You're a fool

Slither back under
Your rock for a minute
While I begin
To untie my shoes

[Verse 2]
You told me in Navan
I begged you to box
The world has been watching
The replay on the tube

I was anonymous
You were belligerent
I was belligerent
You were anonymous too

[Verse 3]
I was just a boy when he came
To start a war with my kin
You told me to go inside
And watch as all the world began to sin

Cut down the hedge
At war with the one
The womb you camе from
It matters not to him
So embrace thе ones
That mean something
To you

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
Well you walked in the rain
And the earth didn't spin
And the child on the street
Had to call himself in
And I watched you all squabble
For the land that was sold
By a man in the gutter
A father to you
Taken down by the bottle
But sure what could he do?
And I know of that struggle
'Cause I live with it too
