They Get Wise to the Jive
They get wise to the jive
They get wise to the jive
That keeps them alive
That keeps them alive
Too many people these days are experts in psychology
Qualified to burn you in the first degree, are you brave
Enough to diagnose me, all the sparrows and the cowards
Must dread working really hard to earn their daily bread
I’m trying to rest you see
I am a depression sleeper
A damn perpetual weeper
I am not my brothers keeper
I guess I must be a mental case, I have visited tons of places
Where the atmosphere was as thick as toxic soup, the more
You digest it the more you learn to detest it, some with coin
To invest are either sick in bed or sick in the head, which one
Are you my long lost friend, which one are you my long lost friend
Your life is run amok by men who have no face to show the crowd,
Nobody can pinpoint why they act so proud, I think its because the
Hype surrounding their importance is a little loud, keep the noise down
I’m trying to rest you see
I am a depression sleeper
A damn perpetual weeper
I am not my brothers keeper
Lets chalk it up to the fact living
In the modern world makes you
Humble really fast, but the tough
Guys just never seem to crumble
They get wise to the jive
They get wise to the jive
That keeps them alive
That keeps them alive
