Shady Existence Songtext
von State Lines

It′s a shady existence
It's with the utmost persistence
To kick it in the boot
But people running for problems on their George boots
The truth will come out eventually
While you see me doing the same things, G
Moving across state lines to do myself fine
I put the time in to get a fat beat and kick the rhyme
And I′ll be doing fine

Like a truth theorem you can hear 'em well
So grab a friend and do tell
About the album of the year 'cause it′s finally here
You put that motherfucker on, it′s like music to your ears

Jovi


Yeah, well there is a shady existence
And both you and I are living in it
There's a price that we pay or just get paid
It′s a subtle toll picking on me every day
So with some apprehension
I decline and realize that it'd be better to die
Than waste my time trying to implement change

Now with not much distance
There is little resistance that turns quiet and weak
′Cause what do you owe in money to a university
If doing nothing but putting me to sleep?
So I just sleep for days
'Til I wake up with my head in a total haze
It′s not a way of life but it sure is safe
Ain't gonna face in the day

Just to see the reality
Of the air I used to breathe
But now I wheeze and heave
On air that's no less clean

But there′s a life ahead
That keep on pushing on

Convinced there might be something in these songs


No, it′s nothing commercial
Nothing political
Barely contrived
No, it's me telling some kid through a microphone
He might be fucked in the head but he′s not alone
No, we gotta take this slow
I was singing alone
I was singing those songs
No, won't you take me home?

I′m just seeing stars
I'm just singing those songs
No, we gotta take this slow
I was singing alone
I was singing those songs
No, won′t you take me home?
I'm just seeing stars
I'm just singing those songs
