Dead Man

from Mexican Train by Radiation Ranch

about

The first offering for what was to be the "Mexican Train" release. In hindsight, it seems a fitting end.

lyrics

Dead Man
©2012 Radiation Ranch

This ain't the way it's s'posed to be
Your words won't change a thing
For folks like me
Everyday...its all the same
I take your share...of the blame

"Someday" - "Be patient"
(But) tomorrow's gone away
It came & went with the promises you made
Ain't no time left here to waste

No wishin' - No waitin'
Can't make everything go right
I ain't afraid to live my life
I ain't afraid to die

You say your life ain’t fair
What makes you think I care
If you need help – better find it somewhere else
You’re on your own – Save yourself

No bitchin’ – No moanin’
Don’t come to me whining
I ain’t got time to fix your life…
You best prepare to die

Why would I be just like you?
You’re weak & scared to lose
Everything you thought was real
Is dead & gone for good
You wasted every chance you had
Until your time was through

Tell me how I should be
But I wouldn’t change a thing
‘Cause I believe there’s a better way for me
Than trading in all my dreams

No fighting – No Crying
It don’t matter who’s wrong or right
(But I was right)
I’ll live & die the way I like…

about

Radiation Ranch

Self indulgent rants & verses presented as glorified demos. Aside from a rare handful of acoustic duo performances, this was never much more than an experiment in songwriting. The round of recordings available here were often based on "scratch" guitar tracks with no click to reference so timing is merely a suggestion in places. Still, a great bunch of songs that will always be fun to hear. ... more
