Look no farther than the fathers who go farther than they should
To the point where we're surrounded by the scars behind their hoods
And who is gonna teach them wrong from right?

Who's gonna tell them it's alright?



Pass the jazz cigarette
Take these brain cells out my head
Fill my lungs, drain my heart...


'cause this smoke cloud's giving me shelter
And I feel much better

And demons wave the white flag for me
Still my bones keep pleading to walk out
From all of this fall out

But there's no way that I could leave
So I don't leave
Turn the bitterness to sweet

I need to find a new release
So I'm trading blues for green


Now I'm a simple man I don't even have a phone
If I did I wouldn't pick it up I want to be alone
I don't trust anyone in this one-track town

So I hit the wall until my eyes fall down
Who is gonna teach them wrong from right?
Who's gonna tell them it's alright?


Just pass the jazz cigarette
Take these brain cells out my head

Fill my lungs, drain my heart...

'cause this smoke cloud's giving me shelter

And I feel much better
And demons wave the white flags for me
'til my bones keep pleading to walk out

From all of this fall out
But there's no way that I could leave
So I don't leave

Turn the bitterness to sweet
I need to find a new release
So I'm trading blues for green

Oh I'm trading blues for green
And demons wave the white flags for me
'til my bones keep pleading to walk out

From all of this fall out
So I'm trading blues for green
