I Know You Tried

I went to your street

At seven in the mornin'

And while you were asleep

I read your newspaper

I saw you out walkin'

Out walkin' with your father

Pretendin' not to see me

Pretendin' to be a family

I know you tried, baby

I know you tried

I know you tried to go on

Saw a metal object

Lyin' in the street

And when we turned away

It stood itself up

You circled the island

In a Chevy caprice

You stuck out your tongue

And your nose began to bleed

I know you tried, baby

I know you tried

I know you tried to go on

I know you tried, baby

I know you tried

I know you tried to go on
