Miss Black America Always Lyrics

Always Lyrics

Music: Miss Black America



Lyrics: Seymour Glass







Forget what you've bought into



The High Life is within you



You're just too scared to look inside



For fear of what you might find



What do you see when you turn out the light?



"I can't tell you, but I know it's not mine"







And we're no better by design



This one horse life's over before you know it started







Thinking of the time



Thinking of the time we've spent



It's hard not to laugh



When they say,



Time and time again,



That stupid word:



"Always."







Free will lavishes you with



A choice of one direction:



March on towards your destiny



There is no alternative



The lady's not for turning



The ends don't justify the means







And we're not better by default



Or worth our salt



Or weight in gold



Just plants and rags







Thinking of the time



Thinking of the time wasted



It's hard not to laugh



When they say,



Time and time again,



That sick joke:



"Always."







And when,



Gnarled and dribbling,



Incontinent,



Abandoned and forgotten we sit



Chewing over time



Chewing over time



We can't swallow



We can't digest



Darling



Don't offer false comfort;



Never say,



"Always."
