Help Me On My Way Pepper Coyote

(When I am laid, am laid
In earth)

Gimme the greenbacks and I'll write the world
The rest can save themselves
We're out of lifeboats, don't you see?
The pen to paper is an old battle cry
The rest can lift their swords
Give me the tools and I'll unhinge myself to fly
But I fall

I fall patiently, reaching for the promises of greatness
But tell me, does that make me a fool
For sitting quietly after I've been burned?

[Chorus]
The lights go down upon another day
Of walking in my sleep
Spinning my wheels at the plate
The lights go down and as I'm waiting here
I pray my mind to keep
Only got so many years to stay
Help me on my way

Gimme the green light and I'll wreck the world
I see no better end, I'd rather light the fuse myself
How do the lazy take up arms so fast
Your head would spin around
Begging the wrong ones to stay under their shoes
They have it all
