Social Distortion – Crown Of Thorns lyrics

[Note: This song is an early demo version, and has a few different lines than the version on "White Light, White Heat, White Trash".]

Pretty much been alone now
for almost five years
well I could always find a way
to hide these bitter tears
still I am waiting
and wishing somehow
I wish I knew then
what I know now

it's no bed of roses
it ain't no crown of thorns
better than lonely
I've been there before

gotta bad reputation
for playing with love
gonna play again now
and beat the odds above
and still I am waiting
and wishing somehow
I wish I knew then
what I know now

it's no bed of roses
it ain't no crown of thorns
better than lonely
I've been there before

it's no bed of roses
it ain't no crown of thorns
better than lonely
I've been there before

it's no bed of roses
it ain't no crown of thorns
better than lonely
I've been there before
