Shinedown Black Soul Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Who's the victim now?
Stand up and take a bow, a bow
Face right, face left
Face everyone you disrespect
So who's the asshole now?
Holier-than-thou, you're not
'Cause baby's got a black soul
Got a black soul, got a black soul

[Pre-Chorus]
You made a mess of your life
And you've been burned once or twice
Now you play roulette with a water gun

[Chorus]
Wake up
Pull yourself together
Speak up
'Cause no one heard your name
Erupt
It's better late than never
And it might take forever
To put you back together

[Post-Chorus]
Face right, face left
Face everyone you disrespect

[Verse 2]
Now they're on their feet
To watch you double down hard, and take it too far
And you know you're in too deep
'Cause you're runnin' out of time and you're talkin' in your sleep
Baby's got a black soul
Baby's got no control
Baby's got a black soul
Got a black soul, got a black soul

[Pre-Chorus]
You made a mess of your life
And you've been buried alive
Now you play roulette with a water gun

[Chorus]
Wake up
Pull yourself together
Speak up
'Cause no one heard your name
Erupt
It's better late than never
And it might take forever
To put you back together

Ohhh
Ohhh

[Chorus]
Wake up
Pull yourself together
Speak up
'Cause no one heard your name
Erupt
It's better late than never
And it might take forever...

[Outro]
Wake up
Pull yourself together
Speak up
'Cause no one heard your name
Erupt
It's better late than never
And it might take forever
To put you back together
