It swallowed me alive
I thought that I had died
He flashed a winning smile
And i was shattered
No matter what he did
I never called his bid
He took me in his arms
That's all that mattered
Always the same
Different faces different names
It doesn't change
Just looking for someone to blame
Nobody fashions rules
For parasites and fools
I took the hand
That offered me disaster
But who can you believe
When all they do is leave
An' every tongue just seems
To wag a little faster
I've been a traveler
With joy and sorrow
A rooster crows
I am the builder of this road
