My Opinion Is, I Hate It - Western Addiction

Was John a loving father

Maybe you should ask his daughters

Was Hank a faithful man

To his wife or the boys in the band

Joseph was a contradiction

Stepped into age old friction

Ian sought unknown pleasures

Closer to a desperate tether

Have you ever shot a charging lion

Stuck around or been relied upon

Ernest only half the time

Golden threads to calm his mind

In between a living hell

Not loved or loving well

Was Charles a vicious lush

As lost as a bottle in the brush

Sam had a ghastly plan

Least Loretta got to stomp a man

Have you ever shot a charging lion

Stuck around or been relied upon

Both measures are equally weighted

Only one is celebrated

Solitary trajectory in pursuit of history

How can you justify when someone's left behind

Solitary trajectory in pursuit of history

My opinion is I hate it

Have you ever shot a charging lion

Stuck around or been relied upon

Both measures are equally weighted

Only one is celebrated

When it's time to face the music

Will you just up and lose it

How can you justify when someone's left behind

Solitary trajectory in pursuit of history
