Never Really Been

Never Really Been(Live Electric) - Soul Asylum
Sirens are a-screaming, shots ring out at night
Movie cameras rolling in
And there goes my hero with
his head between his legs
And all this time I believed in him
Now, what is the sound of snow falling down
On the tombstone in
the dead of the night?
And who is the hound at
the downtown dog pound
Who speaks English when
the watchman's not in sight?
And where will you be in 1993?
Still sitting in the same chair
Sinning is for sinners
and I'm just a beginner
But I've never really been,
been touched there
Hey, ain't it strange how
some things never change?
Ain't it strange how nothing stays the same?
You were thinkin' I was distressed
about some universe oppressed
But I was just depressed
about my last pinball game
I've learned to accept and not to expect
The respect and neglect that I get
I've tried not to forget about
what haven't happened yet
And on this I place my last bet
Hey, did you give what you get
Did you get what you
give of your
Winning is for winners
and I know spring follows winter
But I've never really
been touched there
You know it's hard to be nice
when hate becomes your vice
And you can't find peace anywhere
Love's just not for lovers,
get off your high horse brother
Drop your fist and get out of here
