Michael McGuire Underneath The Bottom
UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM
© Electric Babylon Music Author: M.M.
It’s a dirty little world, full of dirty little minds, wrapped up in clean and
cunning faces, you better believe that you don’t know, you just try to read
the signs, it’s a fairy-tale the tortoise don’t win no races.
The winners don’t win much and the losers don’t lose a thing, you just
spend a little time underneath the bottom.
Well it all came down to hard, and it all moved way to fast, and I tried to
be so righteous and strong, but I let it break me down, though I knew I
could get past, because even when it felt right I knew it was wrong.
But I never felt so victimized I never felt so helpless, so I did a little time
underneath the bottom.
I straddle this point in time, and look back at all those other me’s, and I
seem like somebody that I made up, I try to think but I just dream, I try to
move but I just freeze, I poured out the wine and let the rain fill my cup.
But it’s not like giving up it’s just not caring that it takes me down, and if
you need me I’ll be underneath the bottom.
