Here's another finished collaboration. Everybody did a fantastic job of turning my idea into a finished product! They really captured what I had in my head of what this should sound like. Thanks to everyone that contributed! Below are the lyrics and list of collaborators.
Down On Our Knees
(c) 2010 Roger Wilkerson
v1
wandering around wondering why
pretty disturbed but we get by
sometimes life is like an open book
sometimes a train wreck is worth a look
off of the rails is a matter of fact
that's how it goes when you're on the wrong track
falling over is not getting us down
still going through life wearing a crown
c1
don't care what you believe
you don't like it you can get up and leave
leave it alone and leave us be
down on our luck and down on our knees
v2
It's over now, but it's never done
everybody's hurt and nobody won
took too damn long to get this far
too many bottles and too many bars
we got each other and we had enough
given it away and given it up
it's all good, but you don't have a clue
be better off if it happened to you
c2
don't care what you believe
you don't like it you can get up and leave
leave it alone and leave us be
down on our luck and down with disease
bridge
something is better than nothing
had enough pushing and shoving
we got to go and we got to go on
no matter how far no matter how long
c2
don't care what you believe
you don't like it you can get up and leave
leave it alone and leave us be
down on our luck and down on our knees
