A Rock For The Forgotten Lyrics - Singles - David & David

At the firefly we all tell lies 

And the cleanup kid hangs his head, he's the quiet type 

Came to la to write but he never made it out of the fringes 

Keeps a low profile you kick him, he'll smile 

Thinks blood is his payment for losing 

While me I'm hiding here 

Pretending that my mind is clear 

A rock for the forgotten but when I pour they smile 

And say to me that I'm a rock for the forgotten 

A bottle got broke in a fight over dope 

And the mean old man washed his hands 

All the troubles he's seen, seems like a dream 

While he washes away his sorrow 

But either way I can tell that he prays 

There will never be another tomorrow 

While me, I never change, I try to keep things just the same 

A rock for the forgotten and when I pour their smiles 

Say to me that I'm a rock for the forgotten 

Maybe they'll come alive 

See the soapbox man is at it again 

And the girls pass by avoiding his eye 

He's the best there is in the hellfire biz 

A black belt in the art of babble came from Vera Cruz 

When a bottle of booze told him he had to rouse the rabble 

While me I'm hiding here 

Pretending that my mind is clear 

A rock for the forgotten but when I pour they smile 

And say to me that I'm a rock for the forgotten 

Maybe they'll come alive
