Corrosion of Conformity › Lyrics › Shelter

Once in a while
You been better listenin' to the fools for a change

I can see it in your eyes
It's the ones not like you
You despise

I'm no different than you, it's just that I do whatever I want to
That's what sets us apart I was free from the start, now your leavin'
Tell me whose heart is bleeding?

So, once in a while
You been better listenin' to the fools for a change

One comes around follows and the truth becomes harder to swallow
So, bang, bang they shoot you down
No one says a word as your body hits the ground
Oh pick her up and put her down

The crowd screams aloud "She's not breathing"
And the only hands that reaches, is the one alone
You've been cheatin' my friend
Tell me whose heart is bleeding again?

So, once in a while
You been better listening to the fools for a change

Oh once in a while
You'll be better listening to the fools
