Every Time - David Ford
Well some people they claim They never had a fair roll of the dice They could be right But that'snot me see I was lucky And just had everything fall in my plate Call it fate if you want to But for all the elaborate setup and manoeuvre Being wheeled into position to deliver some sacchar ine Punch to the guts of a world screaming out For whatever the hell they think it is that I'vegot Every time I was given a chance To stand To on my own stand two feet on my own two feet Oh I fell Yeah and Every time I was given a chance Oh I fell Yeah and Every time opportunity knocks on my door I just send it on straight down to hell 'Causeevery time I was given a chance To stand on my own two feet I fell Well some people they imagine The disappoint must tear me apart Break my heart And presume I'mdisgusted By all the injustice I'veseen But that'snot me and I tell you I bear no resentment to millionaire pop singers Barely literate poets and guitar stock gunslingers And I smile so politely At the well meaning ignorance Of the people who tell me I'mgonna make it someday Every time I was given a chance To stand on my own two feet Oh I fell yeah and Every time I was given a chance To stand on my own two feet Oh I fell Yeah and Every time opportunity knocks on my door I just send it on straight down to hell 'Causeevery time I was given a chance To stand on my own two feet I fell Well the Sun'sgoing down on what'sleft of today And the tide drags what'sleft of this moment away And so I kick through the dirt And the red autumn leaves What I had and what I lost and what I still believe And I have no regrets for the time that I spent Barely paying my dues and barely paying the rent For a simple pursuit of more honest a life Yeah I don'tcheat on my taxes I don'tcheat on my wife Now the fire'sburning out and the walls closing in And I'mdragged by the gravity into the sin Of obedient service of some twisted machine Blowing smoke in our faces of each little scene Set to form a distraction just to buy up some time Misdirected by swagger and beaten by rhyme Telling tales of a life you might one day attain If you just keep your focus relentlessly trained On the things you can get and not who you can be No the innocent dream of the sky and the sea And the word and the truth and the spirit of man And a history that promises one day we can With a love for your brother And your sister and yourself Get there one day together in good cheer and good health But it comes at a cost Yeah there'sa price that you pay For a sweet bowl tomorrow you gotta give up today It'sa sacrifice way beyond mortals like me For an age that never was and never could ever be So I don'tdwell on the past I don'true my mistakes And I'mproud that I never had whatever it takes Now I'mstood on the deck of this leaky old boat With just a shirt on my back and a song in my throat And I'mthe luckiest boy on the face of the earth 'CauseI know about love and I know what it'sworth So I'mnot giving up And I'mnot giving in Though I know it'sa fight that I'mnot gonna win And I still scream in the face of more powerful men I choose this motherf**kerAnd I choose it again Every time I was given a chance To To stand on stand on my my own two own feet two feet Oh I fell yeah and Every time I was given a chance Oh I fell yeah and Every time opportunity knocks on my door I just send it on straight down to hell 'Causeevery time I was given a chance To stand on my own two feet Cause every time I was given a chance To stand on my own two feet Yeah every time I was given a chance To stand on my own two feet I fell Guitar score
