lyrics

Caught you abusin’ my name and for all to see
So I exposed you and snatched up your dignity
Guess it's not the same when your karma comes back at you
They just didn’t stop, so I did what I had to do

(They wanna destroy me but they're makin me stronger)
(They wanna destroy me but they're makin me stronger)
(They wanna destroy me but they're makin me stronger)
(They wanna destroy me but they're makin me stronger)

Here they are now still hating my timely ways
Some things are long past but for them that feeling stays
I becken them from the dark with my shining light
(with my shining light)
But they’ve been to the rumormill so they want to fight

They’re so reluctant
They’re so reluctant
They’re so reluctant to give the last rock hope his due

I know I’m the virtual king, do I want to be ?
I really don’t have a choice, they show such envy (oh such envy)
Won’t give me the benefit, cause I am FT
Oh, I’m not the king of your world, well, just wait and see

You’re so reluctant
You’re so reluctant
You’re so reluctant to give the last rock hope his due

You know I'm the king of your world, why do you deny me ?
When I feel the depth of your wrath, you're affirming me
(oh yeah, you're affirming me)
Though you know I'm the king of your world,
you won't set me free
but I'll make my mark in Time, I'm the bottomless sea

You'll never kill my spirit (My lifeblood's gonna flow)
You'll never kill my spirit (My lifeblood's gonna flow)
You'll never kill my spirit (My lifeblood's gonna flow)
You'll never kill my spirit (My lifeblood's gonna flow)

They’re so reluctant
They’re so reluctant
They’re so reluctant to give the last rock hope his due

They’re so reluctant
They’re so reluctant
They’re so reluctant to give the last rock hope his due

They wanna destroy me but they're makin me stronger ...

about

Father Time Pennsylvania

Is he the last rock hope?

Father Time had more #1 songs in rock and alternative than any other artist at the original mp3.com, the alltime indie mecca.

Father Time is a legend - Phil Frazier

If anyone combines the spirit of Evel Knievel with Dylan, Johnny Rotten and Neil Young, it's Scott. If anyone is close to being the Internet Dylan, FT is the one.- Flametop Fred ... more
