They Always Knew

They Always Knew - Jeffrey/Jack Lewis

Art they made didn't get paid

Gig they played nobody came

Tape they mailed test they failed

Not accepted drove and wrecked it

Bad review photo too

Got caught up in bad luck

Heart breaken mistaken

Funny lookin' nothing cookin'

Got sold cheap then sold cheaper

Hit rock botom then fell deaper

Wrote a keeper lost the tape

And even lost the piece of paper

Empty benches monkey wrenches

Common sense sez leave the trenches

What a life it ain't right

A hopeless fight no end in sight

But they always knew they'd make it

Dented mics rented mics

He meant she meant

Disagreements

Legal hassless label battles

Lyrics choken strings broken

Fight they fought tix they bought

Flight they flew show they threw

People saw sound was raw

Don't forget now place yr bets

Would be a tragedy to miss 'em

A travesy of the system

Such devotion no promotion

Small fish in a giant ocean

Saw the gypsy she was tipsy crystal ball was full of whiskey

Say should they give it a go hey

Ball said all signs point to no way

But they always knew they'd make it
