Atmosphere Lyndale Avenue Users Manual Lyrics

Can try to, change to, make a new life
Don't mean we gon' do right, tonight
You can try to, change to, make a new life
Don't mean we gon' do right, tonight

Hey mother, don't let 'em know you
They hunger to hold you down and control you

Hey lover, don't let 'em love you
They'll lay on top of you to stay above you

Can try to change to make a new life
Don't mean we gon' do right, tonight
You can try to, change to, make a new life
Don't mean we gon' do right, tonight
You can try to, change to, make a new life
Don't mean we gon' do right, tonight
You can try to, change to, make a new life
Don't mean we gon' do right, tonight

We all need something we can state the blame on
It can't be your dance that made this rainstorm
It must be the alcohol, and you hate this place cause the towns' too small
And everybody there's so fake
Be a brand new day if they was half awake
Smile in your face, like "yes sir"
Wait til you turn your back so they can whisper
And you ain't tryin to love none of 'em
You know better, right?
You learned somethin'
But even if the first few burst through,
They only pursue cause they wanna hurt you
Comes with the smoker's cough
Gon' turn it on until it's broken off
Cause suffered and crushed is just not enough
They wanna hold you down until they lock you up

Hey sister, don't let 'em touch you
So friendly when they're close enough to cut you

Hey mister, don't let 'em break you
