lyrics

You don't have to fight to stay
share my dignity
Walkin' blind to see the truth
I'm alive today

For every man that has a breaking point
sip that drink tonight
Selfish pride will win the day
so, let your spirit fly high

Sweet molasses
drag me down
Oh, molasses
sweet and sound

Oh, I am lost (yes, I'm just a lost soul)

Weaker than the broken clowns are
I'm a pusher man (yes, I am)
So, let me be the one to cry for
all those selfish lies (I ain't gonna lie no more)

For every town that has a simple mind
shake those bodies down (yes, we all got to shake 'em down)
Looking back to win the fight for
all those weaker victims that cry long

Sweet molasses
drag me down
Oh, molasses
sweet and sound

I can be stronger, wiser, not yet quite a man myself (myself)
I can be bolder, kinder, not yet quite a fan (my friends)
Oh yeah - now I'm free

Yes, I'm just a freer man (so, tell me about it now...)

Life is not a game to play
Let your body speak (we all got to speak up sometimes)
so, fight the urge to stay awake (help all your brothers weep)

Sweet molasses
drag me down
Oh, molasses
sweet and sound
Oh, yes - I'm free again (yes, I am)

Drink all my sweet molasses, now (on down)
