Backbone Songtext
von Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown

Had hopes
But they hung too high
Cut me right down to size
Is there anybody listenin′
Spineless
Another swing and a miss
Never tell it like it is
And the truth keeps bending

You made this bed
Lay down your head
But don't sleep tonight
Your web of lies
Your alibies
I still don′t buy


Say what you'll do
Do what ya say
Tired of lip service in my face
Shoot me straight
I could use a little backbone
Say what you mean
Mean what ya say
Quit lying to my face
Shoot me straight
You could use a little backbone

Sugar coat
Every word you speak
Too sweet
Cracked teeth
Is there anybody listenin'
It′s hush hush
Too much just to cover up
The truth that keeps bending

Say what you′ll do
Do what ya say
Tired of lip service in my face
Shoot me straight
I could use a little backbone
Say what you mean
Mean what ya say
Quit lying to my face
Shoot me straight
You could use a little backbone


You made this bed
Lay down your head
But don't sleep tonight
Your web of lies
Your alibies
I still don′t buy

Say what you'll do
Do what ya say
Tired of lip service in my face
Shoot me straight
I could use a little backbone
Say what you mean
Mean what ya say
Quit lying to my face
Shoot me straight
You could use a little backbone
