Just took a drag, oh, ain't it a drag?
When you feel like history's pullin' you back
Yeah, I've been runnin' bare feet in a field
Yeah, a dream gon' bad
'Cause it feels like history's pullin' me back

I stayed at the ball and had a good time
'Cause I had some bullshit up on my mind
Roll with the tide
When I look at her, all I see is you
When you look at her, do you see me too?

Does it not occur to you?
Do you not prefer the truth?
I was in love with you
Though I didn't show the proof

Just took a drag, oh, ain't it a drag?
When you feel like history's pullin' you back
Yeah, I've been runnin' bare feet in a field
Yeah, a dream gon' bad
'Cause it feels like history's pullin' me back
'Cause it feels like history's pullin' me back

I hold my hands up for the firing squad
And if you want, you can take it all
I don't really know, I can't give no more
Shoot at will
Because she shoots to kill, yeah
And I'm dyin' inside
