Story Behind The Song

People criticizing you when they don't know any better than you

Lyrics

I was marinated in failure
I took it on the chin
After being walked on like grapes
I got back up again
To be hijacked by a lifetime of gross misunderstandings
Peered upon like a freak in a side show
or an alien landing
Take me for what ever you want
but don?t take me for a fool
If you don?t want me thats not a problem just tell me
Take me for what ever you want
Take me home in your back pocket
Take me for what ever you want
But don?t take me for a fool
I walked along the lonesome highways
lost in a perpetual searching
For some kind of answers to my questions
and constant yearning
Criticized by the all knowing who never really know anything
My guess is as good as theirs
When it comes to knowing what the future brings
(chorus)
The games people play
The problems we possess
are hidden away
Take me round to the other side
C?mon and show yourself- show yourself tonight

When I lay down and turn out the lights
I haven?t got a care
And someone by my side
Knowing there?s something we may share
Like a little honesty to lay it?s head upon my chest
The truth shall set us free
But free is what I?ve all ways been
