Jonathan Richman - The Bitter Herb lyrics
[Jonathan Richman - The Bitter Herb lyrics]
Well, I've developed taste for
The bitter herb
And that started long time ago
When I saw that the sweet and secure
Weren't working no more
I won't cry, I won't cry
It ain't that hard to say goodbye
It's time to try the taste of the bitter herb
Our life is changed our life is changed
Our life is changed our life is changed
From the bad
Well, it's time to taste that bitter herb
I've tried the sweet so long
But the path of least resistance
Is so strong
It's hard to change, it's hard to change
Bitter herb is less bitter than strange
But we run from the taste of the bitter herb
It's hard to change it's hard to change
It's hard to change it's hard to change
It's hard to change and I'm afraid
Ya, I'm afraid i'm afraid sometimes
But the bitter herb when I try
I feel more alive
The bitter herb
And that started long time ago
When I saw that the sweet and secure
Weren't working no more
I won't cry, I won't cry
It ain't that hard to say goodbye
It's time to try the taste of the bitter herb
Our life is changed our life is changed
Our life is changed our life is changed
From the bad
Well, it's time to taste that bitter herb
I've tried the sweet so long
But the path of least resistance
Is so strong
It's hard to change, it's hard to change
Bitter herb is less bitter than strange
But we run from the taste of the bitter herb
It's hard to change it's hard to change
It's hard to change it's hard to change
It's hard to change and I'm afraid
Ya, I'm afraid i'm afraid sometimes
But the bitter herb when I try
I feel more alive
