Greg Graffin

Fate's Cruel Hand

There's a leaf in the sky and it's floating on by

A new season dawns but something is gone

There are days in the past and days waiting for me

I don't need a visionary in order to see

You can do what you want to me

'Cuz I don't have the energy

To retreat or hold ground or barely to stand

But I feel the sting from

Fate's cruel hand

Like a bond true and pure we're never quite sure

Our choice in the play as it erodes away

When you can't compete it ends with total defeat

You just let it go so nobody knows you're suffering

You can do what you want to me

'Cuz I don't have the energy

To retreat or hold ground or barely to stand

But I feel the sting from

Fate's cruel hand

When you're not looking

It takes from you
