Everlast - So Long Lyrics






Do you ever have bad dreams?
All I have is bad dreams

I knew a man with a son
Who bought him a gun
And learned shorty just how to use it
Taught him hunting and skinning
Right from the beginning
Built himself a mighty fine killer

But shorty got picked on
Beat on and kicked on
And all his classmates wanna punk him
So with tears in his eye
Readin' Catcher In The Rye
He told his old man he went hunting

And he felt so free
Like his destiny
Lay somewhere out on the horizon
His heart went cold
He felt a hundred years old
And started pulling back on the trigger

I think I'm gonna die today
And everyone who hurt me's gonna pay
How could such a short time feel so long?
How could such a young life go so wrong, go so wrong?

What's it gonna take
For you to really make it in life?

See me, hear me
But don't touch me
You should fear me
Loved your life dearly

'Cause I'm seriously disturbed
That's my word
Straight to my mother
Wait, my brother

Who found another
One to play sucker
'Cause I ain't the one
Put shade in your sun
And took all your shine

Watch me get mine
Feel my love burn
Me for my sins
Watch the world turn

The saga begins
Losses and wins
Angels and ends
Dancin' on top

The head of a pin
Don't know where I'm going
But I know where I've been
I can't hear a sound

I clapped a full round
I came to get down
I came to get dirty
I came to get even

I think I'm gonna die today
Everyone who hurt me's gonna pay
How could such a short time feel so long?
How could such a young life go so wrong?

I think I'm gonna die today
Everyone who hurt me's gonna pay
How could such a short time feel so long?
How could such a young life go so wrong?

Think I'm gonna die today
Everyone who hurt me's gonna pay
How could such a short time feel so long?
How could such a young life go so wrong?

Momma, don't cry
Please, Momma, don't cry
Momma, don't cry
You did nothing wrong

    Everlast is one of the musicians i LOVE and upon I've GROWN - just like Metallica / AC/DC / Guns'n'Roses / Nirvana / Slayer/Faith No More and THOUSANDS of others! I LITERALLY LOVE ALL THE MUSIC THAT POPPED UP FROM THE EARLY 80's - THROUGH THE 90's and STOPPED (suddenly & sadly) AROUND 2002 - 2004. AFTER THAT - SADLY! - the music industry started PLUMMETING DOWN AT STEADILY INCREASING SPEED UNTIL ..."HannaH FuckTUNNA SWINGING ON A WRECKING BALL SHOWED UP - I.E: THE DEATH of Music and the RISE of CHEAP, SHITTY, SHOWBIZ-REMASTERED SOUNDS - a CACOPHONY OF SHIT - accompanied by TONS of swinging butts and tits! "SON" HOUSE and all the "old-school" Bluesmen are ROLLING IN THEIR GRAVES... and DON'T YOU FELLAS EVEN DARE TO TELL ME THAT AIN'T THE SAD TRUTH!

  25. C.... K....

    A very underrated film of the 90s

    B.... S....

    It was a BAD movie !!!

    B.... S....

    @ND7652 No. Just no.

    B.... S....

    @Brandon Spain This movie was BAD . But I would like to hear what you thought about the film .

    B.... S....

    @ND7652 so I'd like to hear yours. What was so bad?

    B.... S....

    If you read the book 'End of Days' by Frank Laura. Its a novel based on the screenplay of the movie. It explains the movie waaay better. Pretty cool book. If you liked the movie, but didn't understand some of it, I'd recommend reading the book.

  29. s.... m....

    cool video clip for a great song

  30. T.... O....

    Can't find this song anywhere but here so far thank you

    T.... O....

  39. J.... W....

    In my opinion best Arnold movie ever right up there with The Terminator

    J.... W....

    John Ward Great film but love his 80s films: Terminator, Predator & Commando

    J.... W....

    J.... W....

    Come onnnn... Kindergarden Cop!!! "It's not a tumor(Tumah!), it's not!"🤣🤣🤣

    E.... W....

    check out "what it's like" by Everlast as well.

    E.... W....

    Everlast covers along the watchtower. Don’t remember what it’s on though

  44. C.... B....

    Saludos desde Bogotá Colombia

    C.... B....

    Desde santiago de chile parce
    Saludos !!!

  45. P.... A....

    This was a great song from the "End Of Days" soundtrack but radio and video channels did NOT want to touch this song with a ten foot pole.The primary reason being is this song came out a few months after the Columbine School Shooting Massacre.

    P.... A....

    And as a result, criminally underrated.

    P.... A....

    I have this soundtrack🤘

    P.... A....

    Well, considering they bleeped out the word "gun" from the Wheatus song "Teenage Dirtbag," that would not surprise me. Either way, probably the best soundtrack I've ever bought... besides the Mortal Kombat soundtrack... first CD I ever owned.

    P.... A....

    I thought from previous interviews that the song was in response to the Jonesboro, AR, shooting and in combination with the Salinger book. From what I remember of back then, the song was not popular because of several aspects. Rap was not viewed the same, the school shootings, and the poor response to the movie. Just a thought tho.

    P.... A....

    Perverted Alchemist, but how many have felt like those lyrics? I thought about doing something like this because of being over bullied. How many people would admit to that? I don’t know, but I’d venture to say anyone that likes this song has thought about taking out some a$$#oles that gave them unprovoked trouble. “Mama don’t cry, please mama don’t cry, you did nothing wrong.” A lot is said in that one lyric.

  46. h.... h....

    Wow how old is this video Everlast looks so young

    h.... h....

    MTN DEW RED this is close to twenty years ago

    h.... h....

    From the soundtrack to the Schwarzenegger movie "End of Days", from 1999.

    h.... h....

    1999 i believe

  47. W.... R....

    Word, E. Always on point.

    W.... R....

    Eminem said, Everlast was Muslim is that true?

    W.... R....

    @howdy ho!

    Erik converted to Islam in 1996 but now says he still considers himself Muslim but he rejects all organised religion
