The House That Dirt Built

The Heavy The House That Dirt Built Lyrics
1.Short Change Hero

I can't see where you're comin' from
But I know just what you're runnin' from
And what matters ain't the who's baddest but the
Ones who stop you falling from your ladder, baby
When you feel like you're feeling now
And doin' things just to please your crowd
When I love you like the way I love you
And I suffer but I ain't gonna cut you 'cause
This ain't no place for no hero
This ain't no place for no better man
This ain't no place for no hero
To call 'home'
This ain't no place for no hero
This ain't no place for no better man
This ain't no place for no hero
To call 'home'
And every time I close my eyes
I think, I think 'bout you inside
And your mother givin' up on asking why
Why you lie and you cheat
and you try to make a fool out of she
I can't see where you're comin' from
But I know just what you're runnin' from
And what matters ain't the who's baddest but the
Ones who stop you falling from your ladder, cause
This ain't no place for no hero
This ain't no place for no better man
This ain't no place for no hero
To call 'home'
This ain't no place for no hero
This ain't no place for no better man
This ain't no place for no hero
To call 'home'


2.Love Like That

I put my back into it
I put a hole right through it
Don't ever leave me
(Don't ever leave, baby)

I work the land all day and
I gave you all my pay, but
It's not enough girl
(Never enough, girl)

I don't need a love like that
(He don't want a love like that)
I don't need a love like that
(He don't want a love)

You took me to great lengths
All that I can do is summon up the strength to
Get a reaction
(Why you never love this man?)

How do you sit so still?
Don't you recognise that you haunt me still?
But bitch, I'm too lazy
(So, so lazy)

I don't need a love like that
(He don't want a love like that)
I don't need a love like that
(He don't want a love like that)
I don't need a love like that
(He don't want a love like that)
Who needs a love like that?
(Who will need a love like that?)


3.What You Want Me To Do

I've been loved
I don't feel clever
One mans weakness
Is another mans pleasure
I got no feelings
I got no heart
Can't make no sense out of this
But I got to somehow

What you want me to do
What you want me to say
How you need me to be?
I can be that way
What you want me to do
What you want me to say
How you need me to be?
'Cause I can do that...

When I feel tender
Like I've been lost
Put myself together
'Cause paid my cost to be the boss
I ain't sleepin'
I ain't slept
I see what you see here
But in this life
You give what you get


4.Stuck

There was a frost when you left this morning
But there'll be fireworks when you come home
I never run from the early warning
I never asked to be alone
It's the truth I can do without
Getting harder to admit
Love, I can do without
I'm up in my neck and ear

I'm stuck
Till you make your mind up
Till you make your mind up
I'm stuck

Well you can shake it till it rains down
And you can shake it till it turns gold
Will you shake all the better lies
Will it taste like lips of gold

Cause it's the proof that without a doubt
It's too late to pray
Love, I can't breathe it out
I'm up to my neck in this shit

I'm stuck
Till you make your mind up
Till you make your mind up
I'm stuck

And I don't know if I can do it by myself
I just feel like I'm responsible
And I don't know if I can do it by myself
I feel loved but I'm not capable
And how can I breath
Till you make your mind up
How can I think of leaving you when

I'm stuck
Till you make your mind up
Till you make your mind up
I'm stuck

I'm stuck...
I'm stuck...

6.Cause For Alarm

You must listen to this story
Pay attention to this tale
For you to bathe in glory
You must be doomed to fail
Let you in on no secret
Give yourself no head start
Taking in the breath is easy
Making is the hardest part

This is a cause for alarm
Get on your knees and pray
Don't be a knight in armor
Without a beast to slay

There is no dress rehearsal
There's no easy lesson learned
Better to be breathing fire
Than to have your bridges burned
Let it be your only duty
Dedicate it to your own
If you gonna fight like lion
Someone ought get murdered off

This is a cause for alarm
Get on your knees and pray
Don't be a knight in armor
Without a beast to slay

This is a cause for alarm
Get on your knees and stay
Don't be a knight in armor
Without a beast to slay

Fire fall upon us
And lighting shall strike the Earth
For you to reach salvation
You must value what it's worth
When there are great expectation
There is no one else to blame
You can either shoot for freedom
Or you drag a ball and chain

This is a cause for alarm
Get on your knees and pray
Don't be a knight in armor
Without a beast to slay

This is a cause for alarm
Get on your knees and stay
Don't be a knight in armor
Without a beast to slay


7.No Time

Where, oh, where is the girl that I found?
She was the best, the sweetest thing in this broken-down town
Where can this girl be now?
She used to make me feel like God when she'd go it on down

But now she got no time to play with me
Got no time to shake it with me
Got no time to make it with me
Got no feeling on my body
But I know what you want me to do
You know what you want me to do
Compromise the struggle with you
Compromise, but

I ain't got time for this
When there ain't no time, no time, no time for this
Where is the girl that I found?
She used to help me dig up dirt in my graveyard town

Making love was the only sound
That I remember you could hear for miles around

But now she got no time to play with me
Got no time to shake it with me
Got no time to make it with me
Got me feeling on my body
But I know what you want me to do
You know what you want me to do
Compromise the struggle with you
Compromise, but

I ain't got time for this
When there ain't no time, no time, no time for this

Where is the girl that I found?
She really helped me build this house from the dirt on the
ground

But now she got no time to play with me
Got no time to shake it with me
Got no time to make it with me
Got no feeling on my body
But I know what you want me to do
You know what you want me to do
Compromise the struggle with you
Compromise, but

I ain't got time for this
And there ain't no time, no time, no time for this

Where has my baby disappeared to?
Where has my baby gone now?
Where has my baby disappeared to?
Where has my baby gone now?


8.Long Way From Home

Got my mind like the pope got good
Got the blues and you seem so far
Temptation all around the air that I breath
But you don't have to worry cause you tamed the beast
And in the summer time
That we lost
Out of time and
At a cost
I need someone who can understand
I'll never be a prophet in my own land

When I'm a long way from home
So much pressure on my bones
I'm such a long way from home
But I'll be back soon

Tongue tied on the telephone line
You got the words to help me ease up my mind
No one love me like the way that you love me so
I got to tell you from the tip of my tongue
Cause I know where I'll find you
I know just where you lie
Always deep in my heart
You're by my side

I know it's hard
When I'm a long way from home
So much pressure on my bones
I'm such a long way from home
But I'll be back soon

I'm coming home
I know where I'll find you
I know just where you like
Always deep in my heart
You're by my side

It's so hard
When I'm a long way from home
It's so much pressure on my bones
I'm such a long way from home
But I'll be back soon

I'm gonna be back soon
Daddy gonna be back soon, yeah.


9.Sixteen

I saw her dancin with the devil
And he was wearing my shoe
Black and white Jordan leathers
And she was looking for abuse
Now she looked just like heaven
But her mind reeked of hell
Now I know I shouldn't be telling
But I guess I guess if you know her well
She's the kind of girl
She can believe me when I say, she can

She's already ready there, and already there.

Now what the devil want
Believe the devil gonna get
He gonna stretch her out
Like a tape in a cassette
And when you see these kinda girls
They all look big as fun (???)
But the devil know the devil know
There is only one thing tonight she gonna suck
Cuz she wont no she cant
Believe me when I say
She cant
She's already there
She's already there

We got sixteen year olds acting like they forty year olds
Yo we need to do it and we need to re-clense the souls
I have an idea, lets take rich style high tronic system and we
crush em out

Cuz she wont she cant
Believe me when I say
She's already there
She's already there.


10.How You Like Me Now

Now there was a time
When you loved me so
I couldn't do wrong
Now you need to know
See I been a bad bad bad bad man
And I'm in deep ya
I found a brand new love for this man
And I can't wait till ya see
I can't wait

How you like me now (8x)

Remember the time
When he took over
Ya I was a lie
That you cant give up
If I was to cheat on
Now would you see right through me
If I sang a sad sad sad sad song
Would ya give it to me
Would ya (say)

How ya like me now (8x)

Does that make ya love me baby
Does that make ya want me baby


11.Oh No! Not You Again!!

She won't leave me alone
And she always in my home
Playing in my head
Messing with my pheromones.

Cause I know she want an evil man
To dance with her evil plans

But I pray that she hears me when I say:
Oh no not you again

She gonna break my heart
And leave me for dead
Throw me in the fire
And spit on what's left

Cause she said she want a pretty man,
But I ain't no pretty man
So I praying that she hears me when I say:
Oh no not you again!

Hey baby wanna play?
Oo baby what you say?
Baby, baby wanna play?
Ooo baby what you say?

Why can't you hear me when I say:
Oh no not you again?

Why can't you hear me when I say
Why can't you hear me when I say
Why can't you hear me when I say
Oh no not you again!
