I Go Through - O.A.R.

That ivory tower’s looking tattered and tired 'round the eyes

Ain’t getting much sleep at night

My daddy told me, «politicians never learn the golden rule.

Do unto others,

as you’d have them do to you.»

But you go 'round and around it

You go over and under

I go through

Food on the table, running car, and tuck my kids in at night

The American Dream in real life, yeah

My mom’s an Angel, cigarette smoke like a halo 'round her hair

Sun is shining right behind her standing there

You go 'round and around it

You go over and under

I go through

You go 'round and around it

You go over and under

I go through

You break my legs, then make me walk

You seal my lips, then demand I talk

You blind my eyes, then ask me if I like what you drew

Yeah, you do

You go 'round and around it

You go over and under

I go through

Oh, through, oh

My kid, he asked me, «daddy, when you coming home to me from work?»

If I’m being honest, man, that hurt

So I go 'round and around it

I go over and under

He goes through

You break my legs, then make me walk

You seal my lips, and demand I talk

You blind my eyes, then ask me if I like what you drew

Yeah, you do

You go 'round and around it

You go over and under

I go through

I go 'round and around it

I go over and under

She goes through

We go 'round and around it

We go over and under

We go through
