Social Distortion - Diamond In The Rough

Taken from the latest album Hard Times And Nursery Rhymes released on January 18, 2011

Well, I've been up, yeah
And I've been down
Been kicked around, yeah
This god-forsaken town
So many faults, so little time
I've gotta find my piece of mind
Peace of mind

I was looking for something
Anything at all
Something to believe in
Spray-painted on the walls
I've made mistakes, yeah
I've paid for them too
What's a poor boy supposed to do

Then she said yea, yea
"You're like a diamond in the rough
You're dirty and you're damaged
All you need's a little love
But inside there's a sparkle
That'll light the stars above
And you'll be there in the morning
When the going gets tough"

There was a time when, I could not say
I got a reason to live another day
A discarded treasure, they all passed on by
And I can understand the reasons why

Then she said yea, yea
"You're like a diamond in the rough
You're dirty and you're damaged
All you need's a little love
But inside there's a sparkle
That'll light the stars above
And you'll be there in the morning
When the going gets tough"
[x2]

Yea, yea, diamond in the rough
Yea, yea, gonna light the stars above
Yea, yea, all you need's a little love
You'll be there in the morning
When the going... gets tough
Diamond in the rough now, yea, yea
Who'll light the stars above, yea, yea
All you need's a little love now, yea, yea

BON JOVI!!!...you arent a true social D fan if you say something like that. I like the way they have evolved unlike some other bands. I like ALL social Distortion

@mcsandbar Well the change in sound was to show people where they came from. We've grown up mostly seeing them as a punk rock or somewhere in that ball park, but they grew up with the influence of Blues. This album is meant to be a throw back and a hats off to the Blues which gave them what they needed to grace us with what they've done thus far.

@MrYamato67 I don't think I would really call most of the new stuff punk. But thats not a bash on the band at all. I think they've really, really grown and matured into something past that. Look at how so many punks were angry young punks growing up and grew into greasers when they all got older and matured.. I think its awesome how you see the same thing with Social D

How in the hell can someone not like this? Social D has matured and changed up their style but still original and one of orange countys true punk bands! Nothing but true heart and soul here.....
