Everlast - What it's like (angol dalszöveg)

We've all seen the man at the liquor beggin' for your change
The hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full of mange
He asks a man for what he could spare with in his eyes
"Get a job you fucking slob" is all he replied

God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to the blues
Then you really might know what it's like (what its like)

Mary got from a kid named Tom who said he was in love
He said don't worry 'bout a thing baby doll, I'm the man you've been dreamin' of
But three months later he say he won't date her or her calls
And she sweared "God damn if I find that man I'm cutting off his "
Then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walking through the door
They call her a killer and they call her a and they call her a whore

God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to
Then you really might know what it's like (what it's like)

I've seen a rich man beg, I've seen a good man sin, I've seen a man cry
I've seen a loser win and a sad man grin, I heard an honest man lie
I've seen the good side of bad and the downside of up and everything between
I licked the silver spoon, drank from the golden cup and smoked the green
I stroked the fattest dimes at least a couple of times before I broke their hearts
You know where it ends, yo, it usually on where you start

I knew this kid named Max who used to get fat stacks out on the corner with
He liked to hang out late, he liked to get shit-faced and keep the pace with thugs
Until late one night there was a big gun and Max lost his head
He pulled out his chrome .45, talked some and wound up dead
Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of this pain
You know it crumbles that way, at least that's what they say when you play the game

God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
Then you really might know what it's like to have to
And then you really might know what it's like (what it's like)
To have to lose
