Ransom Blues Lyrics by Tré Burt

You, Yeah, You

2021

[Verse 1]
My own regard for the spirit is of no one's concern
No, when it comes to lighting fires
I don't pick or choose which coal gets first to burn
But someone like you, you'll only smother it
You'll choke the life from every flame
No matter how dark your sky
In or outside your eyes, your lips will never find my name
[Refrain]
What have you got to live for if you don't have the time?
[Verse 2]
Well, I've been around some, been up and down some
I've played for ransom for my mind
Mistaken my heart for a trap to get the monkey off my back
But he was just a friend of mine
But someone like you, you'll never see it
You'll carry on, fakin' the blues
I've heard enough of your cries to leave you high and dry
Bid farewell, so long, adieu
[Refrain]
What have you got to live for if you don't have the time?
All right
[Verse 3]
I said, "Hallelujah" said, "What's it to ya?"
I've cursed it all, and it's cursed me back
I've made a fool of myself in despite of my health
I've tied the rope with no slack
But someone like you, you make me worry
You act like you're the only one that's gone wrong
No, you won't give up 'til someone you break
I know your kind too well to go along
No, you won't give up 'til someone you break
I know your kind too well to go along
