The Person You Are-John Wesley Harding

Album by: The Name Above The Title Artist by: John Wesley Harding I put my forehead to the door And I heard the famous sound of infidelity Looks like I loved and lost once more, Oh, but alls fair in love and war supposedly I couldnt even burst in on you See scrabbling sheets hear your excuse Give you the evil eye or verbal abuse Why do you do what you do When the things that you do hurt the person you are Why do you do what you do When the things that you do hurt the person you are I slam my glass down on the bar And my problems they hit the floor so gracefully I dont know where I parked the car But thats ok, tonight Im on the town without me Tonight its just me and my evil twin The one who slips one more drink in The one who slips away, when I start sinking Why do you do what you do When the things that you do hurt the person you are Why do you do what you do When the things that you do hurt theperson you are The person you are I got a job to pay the rent Put people out of work by repositioning Now no-ones sitting on the fence Whose garden will we end up sitting in? Its getting much too hot to heal the sky And it hurts too much to open up our eyes To fundamental truths that we hold as lies Why do we do what we do When the things that we do hurt the people we are? Why do you do what you do When the things that you do hurt the person you are? The person you are The person you are The person.
