Lyrics

Head pounding on the city streets

Feel the grip, smell the heat

Drop me into an angry world

Tender heart still uncurled

All the questions that have been repressed

Like a rock in my chest

But you know I never compromise

Won't get smart, won't get wise

And you know I'll never understand

But I try, I try, I try, I try, I try

And you know I'll never be a man

But I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I said I try

Don't know if I'll ever stand up straight

Full of fear, full of hate

So empty when I try and feel

What is right, what is real

Never get a chance to back up and slow down

Can't run from the showdown

But you know I'll never give up and quit

I'll keep on talking shit

And you know I'll never understand

But I try, I try, I try, I try, I try

And you know I'll never be a man

But I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I said I try

It's no wonder some people choke

On the fear, on the smoke

In the end you're just another face

Take a breath, take up space

No lesson that was ever learned

Without someone getting burned

And the message of the city streets

Move your feet, move your feet

And you know I'll never understand

But I try, I try, I try, I try, I try

And you know I'll never be a man

But I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I said I try

And you know I'll never understand

But I try, I try, I try, I try, I try

And you know I'll never be a man

But I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I said I try
