Gridlock Lyrics - Persistence Of Time - Anthrax

It's a long time, a long time comin' 

You tell me how you think I should be 

It's so easy 

You tell me what people want from me 

Well I'll just be myself 

It's the only way I can be but you don't see 

You accuse, abuse integrity 

You don't know one damn thing about me 

Not one damn thing 

Build me up and then you tear me down 

Curse my name when I'm not around 

You're so hard until the truth is found 

What goes round always comes around 

And it's a 

Long time, long time 

A long time comin' 

A long time, long time 

A long time comin', a vicious circle 

In your face I'll come runnin' 

Try and stop me 

A long time, much too long 

And I'm comin' 

Try and stop me 

I like to keep my friends around me close 

But my enemies closer 

Friends accept me for just who I am 

Not someone I'm supposed to be 

Or something they expect for free 

Do you know me? 

I live with myself, I know my place 

Wipe that bullshit smile off your face 

The show is over 

Build me up and then you tear me down 

Curse my name when I'm not around 

You're so hard until the truth is found 

What goes round always comes around 

And it's a 

Long time, long time 

A long time comin' 

A long time, long time 

A long time comin', a vicious circle 

In your face I'll come runnin' 

Try and stop me 

A long time, much too long 

And I'm comin' 

Try and stop me 

You and me are gonna take a walk 

I think it's time we had a little talk 

I said, you and me are gonna take a walk 

And we're gonna do more than walk and talk 

Let me see how you think I should be 

You think it's so easy? 

Put yourself on trial everyday 

Against a hung jury 

You don't know a thing about me 

You believe the hype you see 

But in my heart god knows I'll be true 

To what my life will bring 

And it's a 

Long time, long time 

A long time comin' 

A long time, long time 

A long time comin', a vicious circle 

In your face I'll come runnin' 

Try and stop me 

A long time, much too long 

And I'm comin' 

Try and stop me
