Any Man In America Lyrics - Blue October

I only note spending time away
I only note the truth is spoken
Best when brutally so honestly.
I' ll let you know you set
The standards lyrically for me
One single middle finger, Say raise it up
My speech will always be free
Like "Martin Luther King"
You had meaning to me
Single handedly saving music starving industry
A hip hop legend was skinned like invisible ink
Like even though he was "whiter than me"
He was the first to be colorless
Speaking for all of us then you let us into your family
Mother father brother sister wife daughter
Damn right in front of me
That 's when I miss my daughter desperately
Your mocking bird puts dents in me
While touring press and reliving my song hate me
I was losing custody I never even saw that shit.
How she played me And planned and sought it fit
To turn that trick and financially she would benefit
My first and probably only "billboard hit"
Was gonna pay for my two year old 's college
I should have hid that shit
So she couldn 't spend that shit
It took twenty years of working
Just to earn that shit, now word for word I've listened,
Heard and I'm done. Done.

Like you don 't know.
You act like you believe it.
That you're in control.
It's just your legal system though
They don 't think about you
No they don't care about you.
Now every man in America
Take back your control
Like you don't know.
You act like you believe it.
That you're in control.
It's just your legal system though
They don 't think about it
No, they don't care about it
Now every man in America
Take back your control.

I kept my business quiet
Just like my lawyer said.
And I tried to focus on
My anger and work instead.
I was succeeding at self reliant
But inside my soul am dead.
I had to be the sole provider
But not allowed to be the dad.
Literally they took her from me.
Legally they did! They did!
But I'm not a f-cking book
So f-ck your book and leaking I said
F-ck the judge. F-ck that county
F-ck your family too.
Yeah f-ck everybody that took my baby girl, Blue
I'm way too strong
I work my ass off all day long.
And I'm gone for months at a time
And you keep sitting there in line
Bitching Come back home
I hate you, hate you god.
And then you came back home
And filed for another f-cking divorce.
I'm sick of her I'm sick of you
I'm not sick, i'm lost up in my head.
Any other man in American
Can get screwed just like me.

Like you don 't know.
You act like you believe it.
That you're in control.
It's just your legal system though
They don 't think about you
No they don't care about you.
Now every man in America
Take back your control
Like you don't know.
You act like you believe it.
That you're in control.
It's just your legal system though
They don 't think about it
No, they don't care about it
Now every man in America
Take back your control.

You won't understand,
Probably never will.
Listen slowly I 'll let you know the deal
Lying ass play the judge with your crying ass
You had your nose wide open when you saw the cash.
Grimy bitch growing tired of you trying shit.
Women run the courts, men provide the chips.
Well eat up bitch until you had enough bitch.
But take my kids; you can kiss both my nuts bitch.
Telling lies cause daddy's always on the road.
But you the one f-cking like a groupie at a show.
Money hungry so you try to take my youngest from me.
You a dummy honey I'll chase you across the country.
Bring the drama to
You mamma and you mammas mamma
Cause we all know you chasing half the karma.
Couple checks few houses and Gucci blouses
You changing d-cks like you changing outfits.
Constitution now a day's got the daddies losing.
Lot of fathers getting f-cked by the constitution.

Like you don 't know.
You act like you believe it.
That you're in control.
It's just your legal system though
They don 't think about you
No they don't care about you.
Now every man in America
Take back your control
Like you don't know.
You act like you believe it.
That you're in control.
It's just your legal system though
They don 't think about it
No, they don't care about it
Now every man in America
Take back your control.

Like you don 't know.
You act like you believe it.
That you're in control.
It's just your legal system though
They don 't think about you
No they don't care about you.
Now every man in America
Take back your control
Like you don't know.
You act like you believe it.
That you're in control.
It's just your legal system though
They don 't think about it
No, they don't care about it
Now every man in America
Take back your control.

Like you don 't know.
You act like you believe it.
That you're in control.
It's just your legal system though
They don 't think about you
No they don't care about you.
Now every man in America
Take back your control
Like you don't know.
You act like you believe it.
That you're in control.
It's just your legal system though
They don 't think about it
No, they don't care about it
Now every man in America
Take back your control.
