Social Distortion - Can't hide

Another track, which many people might not know...
The song can`t hide by Social Distortion.
This song is on an old demo from 1994, it`s not the best quality, but I thought, it is quite a cool song, something to chill out a bit...
So I decided to make a small video, and load it up. just some random pictures... not that good, I know.

Lyrics:

Father, do you love me, do you think that I`m any good?
and mother, you would have been there, if you only could.
and brother, we used to be so close, now we`re so far apart...
and sister there will always be a place for you in my heart


jesus, god, are you there?
I get the feeling, you don`t care.
there`s a pain deep inside, I can run, but you know I can`t hide.


The house is a mess, I believe I'll go outside for a while
you need a license to drive, but nothing to raise a child
and your alcoholism and fear run deep in my blood
and the welfare lines are always longer at the first of the month


jesus, god, are you there?
I get the feeling, you don`t care.
there`s a pain deep inside, I can run, but you know I can`t hide.


social worker came to take us for a ride
my self esteem was low, but I held my head up high ...
and that was the only time, I saw my dear grandmother cry...
'cause i'm white trash and I was born that way, and that`s how I`m gonna die.


jesus, god, are you there?
I get the feeling, you don`t care.
there`s a pain deep inside, I can run, but you know I can`t hide.

if there are mistakes, please correct me.^^

Correction to the lyrics:

cause i'm white trash and I was born that way, and that`s how I`m gonna die.

Anyways, I'd never heard of this song before. Thanks for putting it up.

[badleech]

ah... okay.

you're right.

thank you!

no problem :)

[confederatman]

was it ever officially released?

[badleech]

I don't think so.

[JohnnythePimpel]

I knew the song for a long time, and I love this song so much. But I never found any lyrics for this track. They're great. That's very cool of you. Thanks

[badleech]

yeah, I didn`t find any lyrics too.

I had to write them out by myself, it was not that easy, and I am not 100% sure, if they are correct.

whatever, thanks for watching :)

Social D is amazing, it's good to know that you're not alone in this world, people have just as many problems as you do and listening to Social D made me realise that.
