Don Henley - Damn It, Rose Lyrics
(don henley/stan lynch)Maybe just a good nights sleepWould have changed your troubled mindFrom that rather permanent decisionSo tragic, so unkindNow, pain is what youve givenAnd sleep is what youll getSo far away from that sweet baby childWho hardly knew you yetNow hell grow up to be a fighterFull of anger, full of shameLike all the other haunted childrenWho wonder why they cameAnd hell be in and out of troubleUntil he stands up or he fallsBut there will always be a shadow thereNo matter how it goesDamn it, roseIs this another cryptic messageOr some kind of cosmic quizIf theres a lesson to be learned from thisWell, I dont know what it isYou could have given us the fingerMuch more constructively than thatNow I sit here with the mtvAnd your bloated, burmese catWere being treated to the wisdomOf some puffed up little fartDoing exactly what I used to doPretentions to anarchy and artHe speaks the language of a warriorHe mounts his misinformed attackHe wears the clothes of a dissenterBut theres a logo on his backAnd its a hollow rebellionAs rebellions mostly areIts just another raging tempest in a jarAnd the seasons keep on changingAnd the wind blows hot and coldWish that you were here with us to watch this tideAs it ebbs and flowsDamn it, rose
