I’ve been losin’ my direction, got to find a new connection. You have wasted the love I tasted, now I’m really gettin’ hungry more and more. Been a long time, had a bad sign. Tell me what am I fighting for? Let me know you feel it, you know I really need it. Keep on pushin’ for more, lay down, stay down. I got something to find, there’s one thing I really need. I’m gonna tell you right now, lay down, stay down. Lookin’ for trouble, I guess that’s right. When I was young I was taught to fight. It’s been long gone since I had known, now I’m headin’ for some more.
