Ghost of the Man You Made
TitanChord
Intro
Verse 1
You want the man I was before
The one who'd shake your hand at the store
Who'd tip his hat and thank the law
And swallow every crooked thing he saw
That man believed you when you said
The system works, so rest your head
Then the system shook the wrong man's hand
And I watched that good fool die where he did stand
Chorus
I'm the ghost of the man you made
The one your verdict left for dead
You put a good man in the grave
And raised up this one in his stead
Verse 2
You all moved on, you all forgot
You brought the killer coffee, still hot
Said, "life goes on," said, "let it lie"
Well, somethin' in me went on to die
Chorus
I'm the ghost of the man you made
The one your verdict left for dead
You put a good man in the grave
And raised up this one in his stead
Bridge
You don't get to build a monster
Then act surprised it's at your door
You chose which one of us would bury her
Don't ask me to be the old one anymore
I'm the ghost of the man you made
The one your verdict left for dead
You put a good man in the grave
And raised up this one in his stead
Outro
You made me. Live with it.
