"Tug Of War" Lyrics

Hey, what do you want from me?

As far as I can see

There's really nothing you get for free

Hey, are you dense or just unaware

When you know the one that's there

Could care less if you even breathed

There's nothing up my sleeve

Yet I'm the one deceived

Swallow your pride and choke down the pills

Keep it inside and drink to your fill

You push it aside, still waiting

For your ship to finally come ashore

Just one more drop in the downpour to ignore

I know there's a heavy cost

If compromise isn't tossed

Your dreams can be completely lost

Still afraid of change

And I'm the one to blame

Swallow your pride and choke down the pills

Keep it inside and drink to your fill

You push it aside, still waiting

For your ship to finally come ashore

Just one more drop in the downpour to ignore

You sit and stare out the window

Searching for winds of change

Meanwhile the rest of the herd

Has much greener grass on their range

You hide in a chasm of pride

Too proud to dig yourself out

Heartache to the point where you break

Wake up and scream and shout

Hey, what do you believe?

In dogma and chemistry

Or a psychedelic philosophy?

When damaging your soul

You pay a heavy toll

Swallow your pride and choke down the pills

Keep it inside and drink to your fill

You push it aside, still waiting

For your ship to finally come ashore

Just one more drop in the downpour to ignore

Swallow your pride and choke down the pills

Keep it inside and drink to your fill

You push it aside, still waiting

For your ship to finally come ashore

Just one more drop in the downpour to ignore

Still you do nothing about it

Still you do nothing about it

You're playing tug of war

Still you do nothing about it

You're playing tug of war

Still you do nothing about it

You're playing tug of war

Still you do nothing about it

You're playing tug of war

Still you do nothing about it

You're playing tug of war

Still you do nothing about it

You're playing tug of war

Still you do nothing about it

You're playing tug of war

Still you do nothing about it
