We Don't Eat - SAINT WKND/James Vincent McMorrow.mp3

[00:02.04]Let me tell you something you already know
[00:04.38]The world ain't all sunshines and rainbows
[00:07.25]It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are
[00:11.27]It'll beat you to your knees and keep it there permanently if you let it
[00:15.13]You Me and Nobody is gonna hit as hard as life
[00:19.15]But it ain't about how hard you hit
[00:21.76]It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward
[00:25.57]How much you can take and keep moving forward
[00:28.55]That's how winning is done
[00:31.72]Now if you know what you worth
[00:33.34]Go out and get what you worth
[00:34.76]But you gotta be willing to take the hits
[00:36.89]And not pointing fingers saying you ain't what you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody
[00:42.03]Cowards do that and that ain't you
[00:44.48]You're better than that
[00:46.85] James Vincent McMorrow - We Don't Eat
[00:48.64]So I'd rather be working for something than praying for the rain
[00:56.29]So I wander on till someone else is saved
[01:02.69]I moved to the coast under a mountain
[01:11.14]Swam in the ocean Slept on my own
[01:20.00]At dawn I would watch the sun cut ribbons through the bay
[01:27.36]I'd remember all the things my mother wrote
[01:34.56]That we don't eat until your father's at the table
[01:42.44]And we don't drink until the devils turned to dust
[01:50.55]And never once has any man I've met been able to love
[01:58.92]So if I were you I'd have a little trust
[02:10.88]Two thousand years I've been in that water
[02:19.02]Two thousand years sunk like a stone
[02:27.79]Desperately reaching for nets that the fishermen have thrown
[02:35.72]I'm trying to find a little bit of hope
[02:42.75]Me I was holding all of my secrets soft and hid
[02:50.51]Pages were folded then there was nothing at all
[02:59.11]So if in the future I might need myself a savior
[03:05.96]I'll remember what was written on that wall
[03:13.85]That we don't eat until your father's at the table
[03:22.04]And we don't drink until the devils turned to dust
[03:29.08]And never once has any man I've met been able to love
[03:37.86]So if I were you I'd have a little trust
[03:51.04]Am I an honest man and true?
[03:55.14]Have I been good to you at all?
[03:58.80]Oh I'm so tired of playing these games
[04:03.83]We'd just be running down
[04:06.02]The same old lines The same old stories
[04:10.01]Of breathless trains and worn down glories
[04:14.45]Houses burning Worlds that turn on their own
[04:25.11]So we don't eat until your father's at the table
[04:33.04]We don't drink until the devils turned to dust
[04:41.02]And never once has any man I've met been able to love
[04:50.86]So if I were you, my friend, learn to have just a little bit of trust
