The Dingees - Dead Man lyrics

Once a part of the ruling elite Now just second cla** All those things they promised me Now have come to pa** I feel like I missed a train or watched it go right by Now I wish for one more chance one more shot at life Oh, I'm a deadman I've heard of liberation and deliverance But I've never felt no chains sitting up on the fence I used to be afraid of dying Now I realize dying was the easiest part Now I'm afraid of time Careful to watch for the man Who shows no dignity Come with a scheme and a plan Came to persecute me I lay my soul among lions Their tongues are sharper than swords To speak they breathe forth fire And got me pinned to the floor
