Put on Some Speed

Truth on my Side

Put on Some Speed


B-side from 1994


G                  Am C G
There'll be no payoff today
G             Am C G
I'm just refusing to pay
G              Am C          G
I'm gonna stand here and say
              D Am
"C'mon, do your worst!"
           D         Am
Of course they'll never hear me
       D          C                G
But we know 'bout that from the first


I had some lessons to learn 
But they are not your concern 
I think at least you'd admit 
You get what you choose 
'Cause I'm out here watching 
Walking around in your shoes 

G                  Bm   G
No one is running for help
   D     Bm     G
'Cause no one saves you from yourself
D          Bm     G
You've got solutions you need
                  D   A    C   G
Well, put on some speed


You never knew me at all 
Now you tell me who's at fault 
I left that book on the table 
For you to read, but 
You've got to be willing 
To pick up the language at least 

No one is running for help
'Cause no one saves you from yourself
You've got solutions you need
Well, put on some speed


D     C       G
There’s not a “they” who’s gonna stop it
                    D                 C            G
Look what I deal with without them Right after the fall
D      C                G
No longer can we call on our fathers
       Bm      D   A     C
We're all alone, and it's all for all

No one is running for help
'Cause no one saves you from yourself
You've got solutions you need
Well, put on some speed
