Call of the World
See a man lay down his head
With a bottle of whiskey, wishing he was dead
Never had the courage but always the need
He lived in a world where he could not succeed
How dare the world judge him, how dare they blame
When they know they make all mistakes the same
How dare they call him a failure and a fool
When you are your greed's own tool
He admitted his mistakes
Baptized in these great lakes
Born anew but not forgiven
By the world in which he was livin'
He lived in a world where he could not be
Everything he had dreamed, look with your own eyes and see
A man broken
A man chokin'
Look what you have done
Look what he's become
It's your fault, the man I once knew is gone
Just like another dawn
