Hard To Make A Stand

(Todd Wolfe, R. Scott Bryan, Sheryl Crow and Bill Botrell)
Old James Dean Monroe

Hands out flowers at the Shop-n-Go

Hopes for money

But all he gets is fear

And the wind blows up his coat

And this he scribbles on a purfume note:

";If I'm not here, then you're not here.";

And he says:

";Call me Miscreation,

I'm a walking celebration.";

Chorus:

And it's hard to make a stand

Hard to make a stand

Hard to make a stand

Hard to make a stand

My friend, oh lawdy

Went to take care of her own body

She got shot down in the road

She looked up before she went

Said, ";This isn't really what I meant.";

And the daily news said:

";Two with one stone.";

And I say, ";Hey there, Miscreation,

Bring a flower, time is wasting.";

Chorus

We got loud guitars and big suspicions

Great big guns and small ambitions

We still argue over who is God

And I say, ";Hey there, Miscreation,

Bring a flower, time is wasting.";

I say, ";Hey there, Miscreation,

We all need a revelation.";

Chorus
