Hard lessons for my meal last night Cold cruelty on my plate A faithful heart & years on the side It's goin' down with a bitter taste It's goin' down . . it's goin' down Goin' down like bread & water Can you hear? can you hear? Can you hear me when i cry? No comfort in my bed last night Old man trouble on my head Same old singer . . brand new song Same old story . . brand new friend It's goin' down . . it's goin' down Goin' down like bread & water Can you hear? can you hear? Can you hear me when i cry? Oh the lion . . oh the lion Oh the lion . . help me lord! Can't you hear me? can't you hear me? Can't you hear me callinâ out? Hard numbers were my bread last night Hard travelin' on my slate It's gettin' hard to send it off Oh my friend take a look at my plate It's goin' down . . it's goin' down Goin' down like bread & water Can you hear? can you hear? Can you hear me when i cry? Oh the lion . . oh the lion Oh the lion . . help me lord! Can you hear me? can you hear me? Can you hear me callinâ out? Oh the lion!
