Lyrics

Nice Man

Gotta' take drugs if you want to win Gotta' make love if you want a kid Get it when you're on your own So you buy a new telephone Hallelujah, he's wearing thin Even the blind can see through him Lucid cracks in the dream Bruises into the scene Defecated freedoms And overusing the word You will always see him For what your heart would prefer Rage Takes time The way my heart It bleeds straight in It bleeds straight in Gotta' shout loud if you want to know Gotta' break bones if it's not enough Always part of the game Pulling heart strings to maim Is that what you will tell your kids? He's only violent when he's wasted Maybe he's just insecure? Maybe he'll beat up for cure Defecated freedoms And overusing the word You will always see him For what your heart would prefer Rage Takes time The way my heart It bleeds straight in It bleeds straight in Rage Takes time I know you don't care I tear apart my soul I tear apart my soul Down, down, down, down Nice (Nice) Nice (Nice) Nice (Nice) Nice (Nice) Man, man (Man) Man, man (Man) Man, man (Man) Man, man (Man) Nice (Nice) Nice (Nice) Nice (Nice) Nice (Nice) Man, man (Man) Man, man (Man) Man, man (Man) Man, man (Man) Nice (Nice) Nice (Nice) Nice (Nice) Nice (Nice) Man, man (Man) Man, man (Man) Man, man (Man) Man, man (Man) Nice (Nice) Nice (Nice) Nice (Nice) Nice (Nice) Man, man (Man) Man, man (Man) Man, man (Man) Man, man (Man)
