Grindstone - Jackie Greene

Wake up every morning, every morning is the same

The coffee and the paper, and the fountains at your brain

Nothing’s changed

You don’t understand how it went so fast

The money you made and the love you thought would last

It all went past

I, I want something new, something true

Something I’d do on my own

I, I need something fine to distract my mind

Give me all for this grindstone

Eaten by birds and poisoned by snakes

You stood with tramps, presidents and fakes

You made mistakes

Every day is nothing but the washed out section

Of the fake front page you pray is just a dream

And then you scream

I, I want something new, something true

Something I’d do on my own

I, I need something fine to distract my mind

Give me all for this grindstone

Sometimes so unfair

There’s something I in the air

Tell yourself that you just don’t care

But deep inside it hurts when nothing works

I, I want something new, I want something true

Something I’d do on my own

Hey I, I need something fine, oh, to distract my mind

Yeah, all for this grind, grindstone

Hey, give me something new

Yeah, all for this grindstone

Hey I, I need something fine, oh, to distract my mind

Yeah
