"Ain't It Heavy"

(M. Etheridge)

Sometimes I know that it's never enough
Survival is fine but satisfaction is rough 
I try with an angel tonight 
Spread these wings and I'm on for the ride
Cruise these streets where my innocence hides 
There's some things you can't deny 
What is it about this human condition 
I need some kind of promise 
Some kind of submission tonight

chorus
Heavy 
Ain't it heavy 
Ain't the night heavy 

I'm feelin' kinda loose I'm feelin' kinda mean
I've been feeling kinda wild since I turned seventeen 
Or is it madness 
Tell me where can a woman find any kind of peace 
When does the fury and the agony cease 
How long have I got to say please 
There's a hole in my jeans I only wanted to fade
I've been ripping out seams 
Somebody else made tonight

chorus
