Stockyard Stoics - Word Gets Around lyrics

He's been knocked down He's been f**ed up Betrayed and he thought he'd never laugh again He's been spat on He's been turned off Disdained and he thought he'd never love again He's been broken down He's been messed around Put in his place with a smack in the face He's been stabbed in the back He's been sneak attacked Now he hates the whole goddamned human race And his back's up against the wall once more With his heart on his sleeve and his head in his hands He dreams all the dreams of an innocent man Of the birds and the bees and the TV screen Word gets around in every town He's been knocked down He's been f**ed up Betrayed and he thought he'd never love again He's been spat on He's been turned off Disdained and he thought he'd never laugh again With his eyes so bright and his new blue jeans His head's on right and he's full of dreams But the years between have been black and blue My friend, what are we coming to? And his back's up against the wall once more With his heart on his sleeve and his head in his hands He dreams all the dreams of an innocent man Of the birds and the bees and the TV screen Word gets around in every town In every town word gets around He's been knocked down He's been f**ed up Betrayed and he thought he'd never love again He's been spat on He's been turned off Disdained and he thought he'd never laugh again He still looks for love He still dreams of home He tells tall tales of what might have been But he f**ed up once And he f**ed up thrice Now he's back out on the road again And his backs' up against the wall once more Son of a b**h don't know what he is fighting for You can pick and choose With his heart on his sleeve and his head in his hands He dreams all the dreams of an innocent man Of the birds and the bees and the TV screen Word gets around in every town Now everybody knows and there's no home There's nowhere left to go You're all alone
