Measured in Gray

I'm listening but I can't believe the arrogance

I'm constantly bombarded with

If I were a lazy

Man, I could swallow

The debt you put us in

But now I fear that

Maybe I can't roll with these punches

I don't want to be that man

Independence is all we have but that's now becoming a joke

By your actions

I don't want

To be that man

Who let it all

Go and found

Out how sweet revenge really is

So sweet it consumed me and pushed me towards crime

Oh, only if you put in the hours, I have to make this work

Put in the time

I think you want me to beg for what I work so hard for

Simple independence

All I ever wanted was for everyone to be content and safe

I won't be that man
