Sound of Madness - Live Acoustic from Kansas City

[Spoken Intro]

This is the sound of madness

Everybody, on your feet

People, everybody up

Hands in the air

[Intro]

Yeah, I get it you're an outcast

Always under attack

Always coming in last

Bringing up the past

No one owes you anything

I think you need a shotgun blast

A kick in the ass

So paranoid, watch your back

Oh my, here we go

[Verse 1]

Oh my, here we go

Another loose cannon gone bipolar

Slipped down, couldn't get much lower

Quicksand's got no sense of humor

I'm still laughing like hell

[Pre-Chorus]

You think that by crying to me

Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe

You've been infected by a social disease

Well, then take your medicine

[Chorus]

'Cause I created the sound of madness

Wrote the book on pain

Somehow I'm still here to explain

That the darkest hour never comes in the night

And you can sleep with a gun

But when you gonna wake up and fight

For yourself?

[Verse 2]

'Cause I'm so sick of this tombstone mentality

If there's an afterlife, then it'll set you free

But I'm not gonna part the seas

You're a self-fulfilling prophecy

[Pre-Chorus]

You think that by crying to me

Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe

You've been infected by a social disease

Well, then take your medicine

[Chorus]

I created the sound of madness

Wrote the book on pain

Somehow I'm still here to explain

That the darkest hour never comes in the night

And you can sleep with a gun

But when you gonna wake up and fight

For yourself?

[Bridge]

I created the sound of madness

Wrote the book on pain

Somehow I'm still here to explain

That the darkest hour never comes in the night

You can sleep with a gun

But when you gonna wake up

When you gonna wake up, and fight?

[Chorus]

'Cause I created the sound of madness

Wrote the book on pain

Somehow I'm still here to explain

That the darkest hour never comes in the night

You can sleep with a gun

But when you gonna wake up

For yourself?

[Outro]

When you gonna wake up and fight

For yourself?

When you gonna wake up and fight

For yourself?

[Spoken Outro]

Everybody, this is still a Shinedown show

So if you would please

Everyone, get your fists in the air

Damn

Now we got the blood pumpin'?

Thank you very, very much

You can have a seat though, sit down

Thank you

The uh, the next song is actually one of my fathers, one of my fathers favorite songs
