In your defense they took you down with treachery and guile ...

lyrics

Futile
c. '14 Vlayman Products

You struggled mightily to get things done yer way
You put it all on the line 'cuz there was never any other play
You saw the need for speed and so you went right at it
You worked and struggled and fought like some kind of addict

In yer shoes they oughta have to walk a mile,
Then mebbe they'd realize how yer actions were so
beautiful and futile

You gave it everything you tried to wear 'em down
When they said talk you sang and tried to drown 'em out
You had a way with words, they came fast and free
You had your own drummer and you wrote the melody

In yer place they prob'ly couldn't smile
But damn sure they'd realize how yer life was so
beautiful and futile

She stood by yer side as you climbed up from the street
She liked a quick ride and you thought she was just dumb and sweet
She had a good hide whether she layed down alongside or kneeled
She seemed so innocent until her collusion was revealed

In your defense they took you down with treachery and guile
You couldn't see how all you did was beautiful and futile

SOLO

In your grave they left your hopes and dreams all in a pile
They don't see how what they done is just ugly and futile

about

Vlayman Chicago, Illinois

Fat, bald and old - could I be anymo' rock-n-roll?
I play guitar, bass, some keys and percussion, and I try to vocalize. I write and record, and I do so obsessively. Also, I like martoonies, a lot, and I raise my kids, whom I also like, a lot.
Look for me at the TapeOp and TalkBass forums, where I'm vvv, or in various bars in the Loop.
