Stifling it's Sound
There's been a long hard road before us
At times it seems it ain't been paved at all
And let's just say it wasn't honest
To bring us down to pick us up after the fall
There's folks who bathe it in religion
Other folks here, Lord they simply call it pride
But it don't really make much difference
Lord, you know the Devil always plays both sides

CHORUS
Stifling it's sound won't take the blame, Lord
From weighing on your shoulders
And putting it down won't square no deal, Lord
You make peace with what you're given
Ain't nobody gonna make you kneel

It ain't so easy to back down
Even though you've been lied to from the start
And all that good life they promised
Was a story aimed to play upon your heart
So now they've turned us all to demons
Each designed now, to frighten all the rest
And it just plays out like a sad song
They never should've taken the very best

CHORUS

So now the way I've come to see it
It's time some changes were made
'Cause if we keep on playin' hold-em
There'll be none of us here left to make the take
There'll just be Panthers, Rebels, Lawyers
Farmers, Gangsters, Steelers
In a field of our own wake
So it seems high time we took them lies
And give 'em the holy hell they raised

CHORUS
