New song – listen here
I turned on the shortwave
Thought I heard my granddad
He said hey there kid
You’re not doing too bad
I could smell that first fire
When the wind turned cold
Burning out the damp
As winter took hold
Until now I didn’t know what it meant
When you think nothing matters
The stories go unread
The sins of the father
Like weeds in the garden
Choking out the roots
Blocking out the sun
Sometimes there’s a tomorrow
Where the clouds are parting
Are you a man or worse
Tell me what you’ve done
Remember when I left you
You thought I’d go far
I never tied that tie
Or fixed that damn car
Until now I didn’t know what it meant
‘Til I saw what I look like
With gray upon my head
The sins of the father
Like weeds in the garden
Choking out the roots
Blocking out the sun
Sometimes there’s a tomorrow
Where the clouds are parting
Are you a man or worse
Tell me what you’ve done
Are you a man or worse
