Idols

They always fail me
These gods I've made with my own eyes
I thought I'd get it
But they got me
I was never free
And they were never cheap

But I gave all I had
Oh the sweat and the blood
And the fury inside when they failed
Oh yes, they failed me again

Somehow one night makes all the difference
I'm out on the road again
I'm all shined up and ready to chase
But they were never running
And I was never fast enough
And they failed me again

But I'm up and going
Oh the seeds I'm sowing
Oh the weeds I'm growing
They're coming up

And they'll fail me too
Before the morning dew
Reaches the hillside
Where I buried my last penny
And saved it for one more ride
But they failed me
And I died
