Slow Grind

        "I'm a reckless heart I’m a hard case on my own"

   "Never pay no mind to anything I'm told"

     "I've got no intention           of ever bending to crawl"

      "I don’t need redemption, not at all"

"It's a slow       grind      It's the same  old  story  line       I'm in a"

   "slow          grind     You've taken your soul, I'll take mine       Yeah"

       "Never waste my time cause I ain't got time to waste          Never"

  "compromise when I know things will never change"

     "No commendation                    But still the same old song"

    "No mediation         for    right    or   wrong"
