keep a good man down

i know this comes as no surprise, but the wool's been pulled over our eyes for years, and all the while we sit with our legs crossed, as some poor bastard finds he's lost ten years, that's just another day i live inside my head, i'm tired of all the ways that i wish i was dead, it's been so many years i've finally figured out a way to keep a good man down, i locked you up and threw away the key to all your better days, my bad, my friend, there's so many things you'll never be, many things you'll never have, so sad, oh well, that's just another day i live inside my head, i'm tired of all the ways that i wish i was dead, it's been so many years i've finally figured out a way to keep a good man down, as you're floating through the paces of your day, there's a burning need to get yourself away, everywhere temptation starts to breed, the things you know you'll never need to, satisfy that greed, satisfy that greed, i know this comes as no surprise but the wool's been pulled over our eyes for years, my dear, that's just another day i live inside my head, i'm tired of all the ways that i wish i was dead, it's been so many years i've finally figured out a way to keep a good man down
