Down So Long

The sun sets across the ocean
 I'm a thousand miles from anywhere
 A pocketbook and my heart
 Both just got stolen
 And that sun act like she don't even care
 Wind blows cold when you reach the top
 It feels like someone's face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe
 I got a plastic Jesus and a cordless telephone for every corner of my room
 Everybody but you telling me what to do
 Well, I've been down so long
 Oh, it can't be longer still
 And I've been down for so long
 That the end must be drawing near
 ♪
 I looked to everybody but me
 To answer my prayers
 Til I saw an angel in the bathroom
 Who said she saw no one worth saving anywhere
 And the blind man on the corner said
 "It's simple, like flipping a coin
 Don't matter what side it lands on
 It's someone else's dime"
 Well, I've been down so long
 Oh, it can't be longer still
 And I've been down so long
 That the end must be drawing near
 ♪
 I take a trip
 I catch a train
 I catch a plane
 I got a ticket in my hand
 And then a fat man takes my money
 And like cattle we all stand
 We've been down so long
 Oh, it can't be longer still
 We've been down so long
 That the end must be
 I know the end must be
 Oh, I know the end
 Must be drawing near
