Chris Robinson – Kids That Ain't Got None lyrics

With your devotees in circle all around you
Just waiting in vain
To hear you say please
Though it never comes
They'd all die for you
They would all get down on their knees
They would prove their love to you
In a thousand ways
And outside in the rain
Among the old black trees
And I feel older
On a bed made of straw
Then a sound came down
And covered me with ash
I was not naked
And the constellations screamed
And it touched me to my soul
Until the end of time

I was not afraid
The sensation was strange
I was not alone
I felt safe as home

Hey, do you feel
Like you're losing your mind
Hey, do you feel
Like you're stuck out of time
I say hey, you know,
That you're not the only one
Said I know how you feel
The kids that ain't got none
Said I know how you feel
The kids that ain't got none

You took his old guitar
Gave it one last strum
Threw it out the window
As the river ran by
He watched the credits roll
At the end of the film
They made no mention
And he cursed his endless ways
He threw back his curtain to expose a new bright day
He was not afraid
The sensation was strange
He was not alone
He felt safe as home

Hey, do you feel
Like you're losing your mind
Hey, do you feel
Like you're stuck out of time
I say hey, you know,
That you're not the only one
Said I know how you feel
The kids that ain't got none
Said I know how you feel
The kids that ain't got none

Just stay away from darkness
Be close to all that's gentle and kind
We are all a force of nature
Body, soul and mind

I said hey, do you feel
Like you're losing your mind
Say, hey do you feel
Like you're stuck out of time
I say hey, you know,
That you're not the only one
Said I know how you feel
The kids that ain't got none
Said I know how you feel
The kids that ain't got none
