Lost Cause
broke every deal i ever made
blew every pay cheque ever payed
then i lie and lie again
i say your in my dreams
well it aint how it seems
the truth will only cause you pain
i been face down in the dirt
blood stains on my shirt
oh to help me is in vain
im a lost cause carry me
take the car the road is now clear
you can drive im on the beer
il do the next run like i always say
give me pain il feel it
give me money il steel it
wont be long till i get pay
i have a dream one day il get clean
mabey red will turn to green
im a lost cause carry me
feel summer rain on my face
tapps my window like fallen grace
hope for passion to embrace it
give me ration be sure to lace it
take your time its not a race
when summer fades to the autum
and the leaves have all fallen
for the next spring save ther place
im a lost cause carry me
broke down amoung my peers
let them know all my feers
expecting help from every one
tears like rain across my face
dont matter colour creed or race
just help me come un done
got one tight chest
having trouble breathing just guess the rest
think i need blest
the war is lost but the battle is won
im a lost cause carry me
