BadCardOfDeath


 

 

I knew a kid, with trouble in his eyes

His aggression only led to the demise

Years of sin followed him 'round

He couldn't shake that bad card of death, no matter how hard he tried

 

Bad card of death, it's a heavy load

When it's dealt to you, you gotta hit the road

Don't let it define you. Don't let it bring you down

Just keep on moving, keep on spinning 'round

 

As he grew old, his anger only grew

He couldn't escape the things he'd do

One moment of rage, and it all went bad

He knew he had to change, but it was all he had

 

Bad card of death, it's a heavy load

When it's dealt to you, you gotta hit the road

Don't let it define you. Don't let it bring you down

Just keep on moving, keep on spinning 'round

 

It's not easy, living with regret

But you gotta keep pushing forward, don't let it make you upset

Find your peace, find your way

And leave that bad card of death behind, for a brighter day

 

Bad card of death, it's a heavy load

When it's dealt to you, you gotta hit the road

Don't let it define you. Don't let it bring you down

Just keep on moving, keep on spinning 'round

 

Don't let that bad card of death, get the best of you

Find your strength, find your truth

It's not too late, to turn it all around

Leave that bad card of death behind, and keep on moving down the ground
