Shake It Loose No. 2 (Non​-​album Track)

from Saved (3​-​track EP) by Bob Collum and the Welfare Mothers

lyrics

SHAKE IT LOOSE NO. 2
Shake it loose and pull yourself together
Shake it loose and tell me what you see
The weight you haul around, will drag you to the ground
Running back and forth, acting like a clown

You think you’re the only one who’s sorry
The grass is always greener so they say
Stop digging your own grave
Think of all the time you’ll save
Shake it loose and set yourself free

You’re half right, it’s not a fair fight
When you pick yourself apart the way you do
It’s never too late to fix what you break
But everybody wants what’s best for you

So shake it loose and pull yourself together
Shake it loose and tell me what you see
You hold onto a grudge that just won’t seem to budge
You want to be the victim, the jury and the judge

You think you’re the only one who’s sorry
The grass is always greener so they say
Stop digging your own grave
Think of all the time you’ll save
Shake it loose and set yourself free

It’s your turn to feel the slow burn
Why you’re sinking in the truth like it was quicksand
There’s no doubt you’ll find a way out
All you gotta do is find a helping hand

So shake it loose and pull yourself together
Shake it loose and tell me what you see
The weight you haul around, will drag you to the ground
Running back and forth, acting like a clown

You think you’re the only one who’s sorry
The grass is always greener so they say
Stop digging your own grave
Think of all the time you’ll save
Shake it loose and set yourself free

Shake it loose and set yourself free

Bob Collum and the Welfare Mothers London, UK

Bob Collum & the Welfare Mothers make a cool noise. How cool you ask? Well, it's kinda alt-country, alot of rock & roll, add a smidgen of folk, and a dash of blues. Stick in a potent dose of guilt, a dollop of sin, a drop of salvation (just one drop), and equal measures of joy and sadness ... more
