Two packs of cigarettes a day
The strongest whiskey
Kentucky can make
That's a recipe
to put a vagabond
On his hands and knees
I watched it all up close,
I knew him more than most
I saw a side of him he never showed
Full of sympathy for a world that
Wouldn't let him be
That's the man he was,
Have you heard enough?
What a shame, what a shame,
To judge a life that you can't change
The choir sings, the church bells ring
So, won't you give this man his wings?
What a shame to have to beg you to
See we're not all the same
What a shame
There's a hard life for every silver spoon
There's a touch of grey for every shade
Of blue
That's the way that I see life
If there was nothing wrong,
Then there'd be nothing right
And for this working man they say could
Barely stand
There's gotta be a better place to land
Some kind of remedy for a world that
Wouldn't let him be

She's a still thrill of suicide they say
Cyanide in her plastic veins
She's a mannequin of misery
She's on a bender
But she ain't gonna break.
==★==★==★==★==★==★==
...I don't want to live
To waste another day
Underneath the shadow of mistakes i made
Cause i feel like i'm breaking inside
I don't want to fall and say i list it all
Cause baby there's a part of me to hit the wall
Leaving pieces of me behind
And i feel like i'm breaking inside...
==★==★==★==★==★==★==
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died...
==★==★==★==★==★==★==
If you only knew
I'm hanging by a thread
The web I spin for you
If you only knew
I'd sacrifice my beating
Heart before I lose you
I still hold onto the letters
You returned
I swear I've lived and learned
==★==★==★==★==★==★==
Are you motherfuckers ready
For the new shit?
Stand up and admit,
tomorrow's never coming.
This is the new shit.
Stand up and admit.
Do we get it? No.
Do we want it? Yeah.
This is the new shit,
Stand up and admit.
==★==★==★==★==★==★==
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
==★==★==★==★==★==★==
Call your name every day when i feel so helpless
I'm fallin' down but i'll rise above this, rise above this...
