lyrics

HIDE IN PLAIN SIGHT

Outside the Biltmore with the drunks and the whores
I couldn't care less, I just ask for more
I sleep on the sidewalk and wash in the bay
Just trying now to survive the day
I fought in the war, I gave my all
I stood for my country, I answered the call
For all that, I get all this
Homeless with my people, and stoned as piss

I've found my home, I've found my friends
I've lost it all and I've seen my end
There's more to come of my defeat
I'll tell it all on Hastings Street

There's Becky Lynn; she sold her hope
To make a little money just to score some dope
There's Ryan he's on his dying breath
Down on his knees, he scares me to death
Bobby left his home late last week
His brain got fried, now he's a freak
Here I am in the middle of the day
Wondering how I got this way

They call me Shea Freedom. 
I'm a soldier of a different class and creed,
yeah, race and breed
Read between the lines, I might not like the fight you'll see
I said the fight you'll see man, the fight you'll see
I've been dodging mortars of darkness sprinting towards the light
trying to overcome my mortal plight. That's right.
I'll be your beacon of the light one day,
Got to figure how to make it out some way
Slay the demons and the fear
Slay the demons and the fear
'cause it's cold out here.
Struggling, man.
Hunting for a place to sleep
and bread to eat, in a bad way
chasing bread, dark skin, careful what I do
I got my hands up, like "don't shoot"
Got my hands up, like "don't shoot."
Don’t shoot.

We all pretend that we're better than this
We all pretend that we give a shit
We all hope that we're worth the wait
But we all know that this is it

Everybody here had something to believe
Someone to love, something to hold
God or country; money or fame
All of it's gone, each one of us the same
