Tin man


Redemption can't be bought or sold.
The Devil now, has your soul.
No rest for the weary, so I was told.
There has to be more to life than just tried.
It left me numb, with no feeling.
Remember your brothers that died.
Bits and pieces are all dying inside.
Never forget, the government lied.
I don't have the feelings to cry.
Summer months cold are on the inside.
Seasons come and seasons pass.
 
My shadow, it got upset with me.
To the Curb, I send the women.
The shadow left me for her.
It took my heart with him.
If you are not living free,
You are dying on the inside.
You could never be me.
It was easy to play you.
The pact with God is null and void.
Just like the tinman, has no heart nor soul.  
Player got played, toiled and toyed.
