Lyric

I was born of the womb of a poisonous spell
beaten and broken and chased from the lair
but i rise up above it, high up above it and see
i was hung from the tree made of tongues of the weak
the branches were bones of liars and thieves
prise up above it, high up above it and see

-30 seconds to mars, Night of the Hunter

Lyric

ooh, tell your friends not to think out loud untill they swallow
whisper things into my brain, your voice sounds so hollow, year
i am not a leader of men since i prefer to follow
do you think i could have a drink since its so hard to swallo
yeah, so hard to swallow

-Nickelback Leader of men
