Artist: E-Dubble Album: Written Thursday Song: Hard Bargain Typed by: AZ Lyrics The danger sets in just above the vest Below the hairline, and above the neck Thoughts get tangled, you look for angles While the pressure builds up inside your chest No rest for the ones who are not complacent Push aside all the other ones who hate it Robot cynacism, nerves of steel And that's how you separate yourself from the rest Throw up the fractions and analytics The pie gets chopped up by the cynics With a dumbed down trend you can reach the masses Get massive attention without the spinach Talk shit on the machine when it behooves you to Make sure its real easy to google you Open yourself up like a can of worms Now your whole world's spinning like a hula hoop Used to think that you were the last bastion of hope Like a pastor thinking his last passage was dope But then you figure out that the same guy with his hand out Has also got the mask and the rope And now you're fucked up cuz' the hope inside Just left and you feel like you been excorsized And you finally realize that the ghost inside Was the one little thing keeping you in hiding Drive a hard bargain, never get stalled If you want it less than you'll never have to say pardon Rockin' them jawdens, take flight never look back And they'll never have to ask who's all in Keep your flaws in, you can write the small print Fuck a lease you know why you bought it Keep on roarin' heart of a lion And you stay away from sirens while the rest get lured in Rather be rapping over Beatles tracks You're still in the hay while I just build upon my needle stack I'm the heart of the bargain I want it less so you better not start it She sold her love to a modern man Cause solid currency's the hardest to love All other modern hels you cover your eye Don't let the lady finger blow in your hat Di-da Feel like a daughter She's like a star tonight Without warning She gave up The ghost inside Just like a whiskey bottle drained on the floor She got no future, just a love to endure This gives some matter to shaking her hide 'Too late to leave him' are the songs in her car Di-di-da Feel like a daughter She's like a star tonight Without warning She gave up The ghost inside They call it chivalry Never pull a punch for free You ever wonder why it had to move on This phony article That put you on the floor A double standard You envoke when you want Feel like a daughter She's like a star tonight Without warning She gave up The ghost inside Was it all for show? To turn into all of them Turning a page Trust me darlin' I'm carving 'em up through the dust in your town Crawling over rubble just to sound me out Tend to wonder why?
