about
This is my remix to the classic by the Red Hot Chili Peppers "Scar Tissue".
The first verse focus's on the struggles of the normal everyday working man, The guy who gets up, punches a clock and is fighting the fight, only to eventually succumb to the inevitable. The first verse also targets how the world is set up for you to fail, You work, work some more, then you die. Finally the first verse attacks the unemployed man who leaches off the government and gets the free ride in life.The second verse strictly surrounds itself standing up for the single mother, Preaching how she plays both the role of Mom & Dad all at once. The second verse ends with That Dude calling out all dead beat Dads to stand up and be a man for what is half theirs.
The song was produced by Delta Beats and the artwork was done by Tommy Rowland. Hope you enjoy!
lyrics
Verse 1:
You think you living, you just living to die. The pictures they paint is just a mirage. They make it seem like you can grab the title til you get to the top and theres just another rival. So they beat you, and they defeat you, So you try again and then they sweep you, Under the rug like you was a bug they'd rather see you die trying or addicted to drugs. See its just the way the system works, the hard working man can't seem to get a perk, But then the perc head still complaining that he's hurt, that he's looking for a job but he can't find no work, He's lying, we both know that he's barely trying, But he don't know while he's home that he's slowly dying. The world, i guess its just the way it turns, you live to make it to the top then you crash and burn, lets learn.
Chorus:
Scar tissue that I wish you saw, Sarcastic mister know it all, Close your eyes and I'll kiss you 'cause With the birds I'll share. With the birds I'll share This lonely view, With the birds I'll share This lonely view
Verse 2:
Now let me reach out to the single mom's, doing it by yourself ya i know its hard. Playing mom and dad at the same time, cause he's not around like he said right? But when you look in your child's eyes, its like the weight is lifted and you feel alive, and now you realize that you don't really need him, So when them demons pop up just know that you'll defeat them. I know you'll make it through this hurt weather, and just know your a star and baby girl you deserve better. And when your baby grows and your still around, Just know they know that you cared and their so proud. And for the dead beats you need to get your head straight, stand up and be a man stop being dead weight. cause all we see is a pretty face, but she cries on the inside wishing she could get away, singing.
(Chorus)
