Paralyzed

He's struggled through the quicksand Makes his home in the underground Never dealt the winning hand And it never turns around It never turns around These hard times are coming down The things you've seen deep inside won't let you be And how can the future seem, so dark and so full of fear Down in the mire, dirty in the mud Paralyzed by your own bad luck Forged in fire, but cheated by love Paralyzed by your own bad luck He walks streets paved with pain Just like you, he wants to feel His true self flood his veins But that's not what's in the needle These hard times are coming 'round These hard times are coming down The things you've seen deep inside won't let you be And how can the future seem, so dark and so full of fear Down in the mire, dirty in the mud Paralyzed by your own bad luck Forged in fire, cheated by love Paralyzed by your own bad luck
