Doug Balmain - I've Seen Days



I know what it means to be
Pedal steel lonesome
Felt the blow from a punch
Thrown when I’m down

These ears have listened
To the wrong shoulder
Tried to die
Chasing a mirage

(I’ve seen days)
Make me want to get back to my feet again
(I’ve seen days)
Stare in their eyes with a bloody-toothed smile
(I’ve seen days)
Not a man, not a man that can touch me
(I’ve seen days)
‘cause I’m looking through what’s in my way
I’ve seen days

You’ve got to be a monster
If you need to fight a demon
I shook the Devil’s hand
With a knife behind my back

Yes, I shook that fiery hand
(and I’ve seen days)
Make me want to get back to my feet again
(I’ve seen days)
Stare in their eyes with a bloody-toothed smile
(I’ve seen days)
Not a man, not a man that can touch me
(I’ve seen days)
‘cause I’m looking through what’s in my way
I’ve seen days

Justice is just a word for self-righteous men
Fairness is just a tool used by dissent


(I’ve seen days)
Make me want to get back to my feet again
(I’ve seen days)
Stare in their eyes with a bloody-toothed smile
(I’ve seen days)
Not a man, not a man that can touch me
(I’ve seen days)
‘cause I’m looking through what’s in my way
I’ve seen days

I’ve seen days
I’ve seen days
I’ve seen days
