Streetlight Manifesto - Everything Went Numb lyrics
[Streetlight Manifesto - Everything Went Numb lyrics]
And the story goes like this:
Everything went numb for the
Money and the guns
And every time he'd think it out:
"there's nothing to worry about
Get in the van, don't deviate from the plan
If everything goes smooth then you'll
Walk away a rich man"
So it begins, everybody walks in
Could this be the way or the
Day that the underdog wins?
I think not, and I bet on the feds because
The black hat men never win in the end, so
Ski mask (check) sawn-off (check)
Guilty conscience, fear of death
(check, check, check)
Everything went numb when he stumbled
Upon what he thought
Was going to be another means to the end
Silence sirens it all went down like his
Nightmare the night before
I don't want to hear I don't want to be near
I do what I got to do
Just to keep my nose clean
The story doesn't end here
Don't fear for our hero ain't near the end
My friend let's take it back to how it
With a proposition
And proposition starts with a capital P
"or at least for me" is
What he said to himself
But himself ain't a lot when
He's got nothing left
Of what was once a man, loved and loving
He took that trip that
Turns something to nothing right and wrong
There's not a lot a difference when
You're singing that poor man's song
And that song, na na na, na na na
Ski mask (check) sawn-off (check)
Guilty conscience, fear of death
(check, check, check)
Everything went numb when he stumbled
Upon what he thought
Was going to be another means to the end
Silence sirens it all went down like his
Nightmare the night before
I don't want to hear I don't want to be near
I do what I got to do
Just to keep my nose clean
Everything went numb for the
Money and the guns
And every time he'd think it out:
"there's nothing to worry about
Get in the van, don't deviate from the plan
If everything goes smooth then you'll
Walk away a rich man"
So it begins, everybody walks in
Could this be the way or the
Day that the underdog wins?
I think not, and I bet on the feds because
The black hat men never win in the end, so
Ski mask (check) sawn-off (check)
Guilty conscience, fear of death
(check, check, check)
Everything went numb when he stumbled
Upon what he thought

I don't want to hear I don't want to be near
