[Verse]
DBetter the devil you know
Confess, I guess I was the lesser of the two evils
Convalesce about the sGtress the test caused
Had me up and on the board
Now I'm chairman of the board
I'm coming back for sequels
Do you Dever really think you've won? Now you're feeble
Nothing on this far-gone son, all these people
They're Glaughing at the shit I've done
I've sailed the seven seas to catch a breeze
And took it back home in a trunk
Met a mAatador who said it's my woman is more
Terrifying than any red bull that he saw
Set a Bmsail, set a rail, met them kings and queens
There's so many trust, just the amphetamines
Well, her Adream would've been that the boy's got clean
That her father never got his heart
Caught up in the man's maGchine
Well, it seems even if I got away
There's always a part oAf me willing to stay
[Chorus]
DStone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
GStone, glass, concrete and gravel
GUnderground traveling overcast weather
DStone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
GStone, glass, concrete and gravel
GMaybe one day things'll get better
DCheck, check, check, check
GOne, two, three, kick
[Verse]
I met DGods and monsters, women from Wisconsin
Swimming in linen with another that's not their partner
ChiGcago be selfish drum, on my journey I met Ernie
So he spoke like Al Capone got drunk
I'm a Dlover, I'm a brother, my son
I'm a traitor and I'm on the run, watch 'em come
As she said while she Gdriving in her car
Getting drunker than the bar
She's been smacking hard shoulders since before she's legal
I'm a Adragnet right on through the city of sin
It's the hard done bastards taking it in
Well, I Bmsee what I say, save it on the way
They can't sit bawling but they're bawling away
Well, she cAries all her tears but with all of her fears
Well, she run away, she had a place
Now all they ever see is the Gfears
Take it as she's seen it, get away
Well, there's always a part of uAs willing to stay
[Chorus]
DStone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
GStone, glass, concrete and gravel
GUnderground traveling overcast weather
DStone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
GStone, glass, concrete and gravel
GMaybe one day things'll get better
D  G
[Bridge]
So Arun, run Boyo, chase it to the border, border
Should have also told her I was cannon fodder
WouBmld've if I could've screamed to her, shout and holler
Then I could've saved the girl from the man's machine
Run ABoyo, chase it to the border, border
Should have also told her I was cannon fodder
GWould've if I could've screamed to her, shout and holler
Then I could've saved the girl frAom the man's machine
[Chorus]
DStone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
GStone, glass, concrete and gravel
GUnderground traveling overcast weather
DStone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
GStone, glass, concrete and gravel
GMaybe one day things'll get better

[Verse]

Better the devil you know

Confess, I guess I was the lesser of the two evils

Convalesce about the stress the test caused

Had me up and on the board

Now I'm chairman of the board

I'm coming back for sequels

Do you ever really think you've won? Now you're feeble

Nothing on this far-gone son, all these people

They're laughing at the shit I've done

I've sailed the seven seas to catch a breeze

And took it back home in a trunk

Met a matador who said it's my woman is more

Terrifying than any red bull that he saw

Set a sail, set a rail, met them kings and queens

There's so many trust, just the amphetamines

Well, her dream would've been that the boy's got clean

That her father never got his heart

Caught up in the man's machine

Well, it seems even if I got away

There's always a part of me willing to stay

[Chorus]

Stone, glass, concrete and gravel

All we've got to keep us together

Stone, glass, concrete and gravel

Underground traveling overcast weather

Stone, glass, concrete and gravel

All we've got to keep us together

Stone, glass, concrete and gravel

Maybe one day things'll get better

Check, check, check, check

One, two, three, kick

[Verse]

I met Gods and monsters, women from Wisconsin

Swimming in linen with another that's not their partner

Chicago be selfish drum, on my journey I met Ernie

So he spoke like Al Capone got drunk

I'm a lover, I'm a brother, my son

I'm a traitor and I'm on the run, watch 'em come

As she said while she driving in her car

Getting drunker than the bar

She's been smacking hard shoulders since before she's legal

I'm a dragnet right on through the city of sin

It's the hard done bastards taking it in

Well, I see what I say, save it on the way

They can't sit bawling but they're bawling away

Well, she cries all her tears but with all of her fears
