complacent untitled laugh

+complacent+

i'm afraid, as i know some have inquired
i'm afraid, because i know i have inspired
and i feel responsible for decisions you've made
and i know there's really no excuse
and i pray that those words were of no use
and i'd die if i knew your happiness had gone away

(chorus)
walk in righteous ways
be an example to a friend
complacency, you'll find,
is unproductive in the end

and i know your example's not been great
but you know, there's not much good in hate
and you see the media; they show it in all lands
and you've heard the future's up to you
and you've strength, though your numbers may be few
don't be swayed your judgement- it lies in your own hands

(chorus x2)

fire
coming out of your mouth about moving down south you won't believe it
fire
you don't want things this way make it all go away you can't believe it
liar
put a spin on the tale bout' how you went to jail and then believe it
tire
how I'm sick of the games and the calling of names they won't believe it

(chorus one)
I'll never know if I can win Keep me from the bonds of sin
Never know if I can reach the two souls I need to teach
Wife and family need to be within arms length of me
I'm aiming high I see the sky I see where things need to be

retire
be humane and concede give the kids what they need and they'll be all right
desire
don't worry bout' the cash I'm sure you have a stash to last a few nights
buyer
-but you need new T.V., playstations one, two, and three to raise the kids right
conspire
parenting skills you do lack but the court's got your back as long as I fight

(chorus two)
I'll never know if I can win Keep me from the bonds of sin
Never know if I can reach the two souls I need to teach
Wife and family need to be within arms length of me
That's where they are meant to be from dusk till' dawn, from A to Z
A simple man with simple words has the same right to be heard
and I just don't get the fact why I am being attacked
People standing in the way It's like this every single day
I'm aiming high, I touch the sky, I don't know why, but I can't fly

+laugh+
i wake and i work all day then i drive home the same way
and i sleep if it takes me then, then i wake and do it again
...and my body's tired and my brain is sore
and i don't wanna laugh anymore
...and my neck is tight and my back is sore
and it don't make me laugh anymore

(chorus)
i don't wanna laugh anymore
and i don't wanna laugh anymore
i don't wanna laugh anymore
and i don't wanna laugh anymore

and i'm curious why life's so serious. has something died?
when it's time to go, turn up the radio so these thoughts can hide
and i do my best, i attempt to rest and i lay by your side

(chorus)
...and i work again, and yet i'm always poor
and i don't wanna laugh anymore
...and my eyes are dark and my muscles sore
and i don't wanna laugh anymore
...in a dizzy state, i wanna hit the floor
and i don't wanna laugh anymore
...and if i relax i'll only get real bored
and i don't wanna laugh anymore
i don't wanna laugh anymore
and i don't wanna laugh anymore
i don't wanna laugh anymore
and i don't wanna laugh anymore
