West Memphis

God is good all the time Yeah, all the time, God is good But I'm fucking tired of being polite and overall misunderstood So I snuck on out into the street, cigarette between my teeth Thought I heard a front door creak, it was just my neighbor with her cup of tea She said, "What's realer than the part of you that you don't even claim? Well, I guess that's how West Memphis probably feels Whatever shit they sell you next don't ever ease the pain" Ain't that just how them city slickers deal? 'Causе it ain't the boots, it ain't the bars, it ain't the trip on out to Mars It's a wеll that's dug down deep inside of you I ain't got no horse out in the race But what flows from that same place Is this tragedy we all know is the truth That country ain't a costume Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm Don't you let them dress you Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm Battleship and ouija board, who could ever ask for more? Formula from the corner store, they had no idea they grew up poor It was TBN and praise the Lord, then Powerball was on by four Granny said to trust the Lord, he'll heal the sick and settle every score What's realer than the part of you that you don't even claim? Well I guess that's how west Memphis probably feels (feels) But whatever shit they sell you next don't ever ease the pain And ain't that just how them city slickers deal? (Deal) It ain't the booze, it ain't the bars, it ain't the trip on out to Mars It's a well that's dug down deep inside of you I ain't got no horse out in the race But what flows from that same place Is this tragedy we all know is the truth That country ain't a costume Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm Don't you let them dress you Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm They'll dress you up, sell you out and cut you down Play their good old goddamn games Until the gospel gets around It ain't the boots, it ain't the bars, it ain't the trip on out to Mars It's a well that's dug down deep inside of you You can wear the hats and hit the gas And wonder where you'll end up next If you're a lucky one, the truth will follow you That country ain't a costume Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm Don't you let them dress you Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm Mm-mm The cost it takes to remember yourself as long as this goes As long as this goes No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no No one knows the cost that it takes to remember yourself as long as this goes No one knows the cost Cost Alright
