Kevin Robinson - These Elbows lyrics

Found a place in the foliage Avoided the rest, a steady pulse in my chest I had no grudge to get over And no past to regret It was me and the weather And the weather was good And all their nay-saying ways Could never cloud my perspective There ain't no reason it should They tried to say I was selfish (They tried to say I was wrong) Told me I was naïve (That they knew better than me) And made all kinds of predictions (But there's no hope where they're from) That had no bearing on me (They're only angry and wrong) And all around me was hearsay (So I decided to leave) Until I found a better place in the Evergreens (For a place in the Evergreens) I bet you're bent on destruction The holes in your blouse, the bitter taste in your mouth And still no sign of redemption No time to figure it out But I was there in your trenches Defending that cold cold place And when I came to my senses There was no effort to make And I bet you think it's fictitious (I know you think I'm wrong) You'd say I'm over my head (But there's no hope where you're from) But I got no reason to wait here with you (So I'll explain again) And all the other mislead It's better under the radar No need to swallow everything you're fed They're gonna keep you incarcerated... But underneath the radar we'll be free forevermore...
