straight ahead metal song about a bad day

lyrics

Every day everybody takin’ every little piece of me.
Drain my soul down to the last ‘til I’ve got nothing left to bleed
Take and take and take some more.
Then turn and walk right out the door
Til the next day back they come all smiles and “can you help me please”
Another day another piece until it brings me to my knees

Take your shot
Show me what you got
C’mon take a shot
Let’s see what you got

Bending past the point of breaking, you can hear the vessel crack
Nothing left here for the taking, greedy fingers bitten back
Scream and scream and scream “no more” lying curled up shaking on the floor
What else do you want from me I have got nothing left to give
Broken, beaten, left here bleeding, not a care left if I live

Take your shot
Show me what you got
C’mon take a shot
Let’s see what you got
Take your shot
Show me what you got
C’mon take a shot
Let’s see what you got

Can’t take another day
Make them all go away
Nothing left behind my eyes
Take your best shot i see through your lies

Every day everybody tries to take a little piece of me.
Nothing left here for the taking, take a shot and you will see
Take and take and take no more
So walk away before you hit the floor
Don’t care what you want from me, nothing left for you to sleaze
Turn and walk back out that door before I put you on your knees

Take a shot
Show me what you got
C’mon take your shot
And show me what you got
C’mon and take your shot
Show me what you got
C’mon and take your shot
Show me what you got
C’mon and take your shot
Show me what you got
C’mon and take your shot
C’mon and take your shot

about

Rory Lawford Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

I’ve spent a lifetime gigging everywhere from dive bars to opening for arena rock legends. Yet, after over 1000 gigs, it’s always been in cover bands playing someone else’s songs. Never my own.

So I holed up in my basement with my guitars and a mic & got to work.

Most guys in their 50s with a midlife crisis go out and buy a sports cars or have an affair. Instead, this is MY “Midlife Crisis”. ... more
