I've walked the path of the righteous, And I've strayed from the trail, I rode the seven seas And I've chased my own tail I've gambled losing hands, And then I've rolled snake eyes, I've found a deeper truth In a shallow of lies You just can't cut a long story short, No you won't reach the summit if you're coming up short Life is the punchline, its not a retort So, you can't cut a long story short. I know the warm taste of victory, I've swallowed defeat, Walked barefoot on the embers, Felt the cold concrete I’ve whispered sweet nothings, For you all to hear, I’ve screamed at the heavens, Falling on deaf ears You can't cut a long story short, You can't change the outcome with an afterthought You can't get away if you always get caught you just can't cut a long story short.
