Slaves & Bulldozers (Live from the Artists Den) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every word I said is what I mean
Every  word I said is what I mean
Everything  I gave is what I need

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Virgin eyes and dirty looks on
What I have and why I took
Counting  all the hands I shook
Now  I know why you've been shaking
Now I know why you've been shaking
Now  I know why
You've been taken

[Chorus]
So bleed your heart out
There's no more rides for free
Bleed  your heart out
I said, “What's in it for me?"

[Verse 2]
Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've shown is what I feel

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Buying lies and stealing jokes
Laughing every time I choke
Biding all the time you took
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why
You've been taken
[Verse 3]
Every word I said is what I mean
Everything I gave is what I need
Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've shown is what I feel

[Outro]
Virgin eyes and dirty looks on
What I have and why I took
Counting all the hands I shook
Now I know why you've been shaking
Buying lies and stealing jokes and
Laughing every time I choke
Biding all the time you took
Now I know why you've been shaken
Now I know why you've been shaken
Now I know why you've been shaken
Now I know why you've been shaken
Now I know why you've been shaken
Shaken

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
