You say you've got the cure
But I don't have a disease
And you say you've got the answers
But I've made no inquiries
And you're failing
You're bailing
Good God motherfucker now I hear you're flailing
I see you flailing
That's right I think I do
I see you flailing away
I know it's hard but so are you
And so am I and we'll pull through together, together
And I said that it's been years but still I fear
That someone dear will leave me here forever, forever and I said:
Hey! (Hey!) Hey! (Hey!) Hey! (Hey!) Hey! (Hey!) Hey! (Hey!) Hey! (Hey!)
Hey! You've got to keep trying
You've got to keep holding on to what you've got
(Because what you've got, it sure ain't a lot)
And hey!
Everyone's falling down
Everyone's holding out for what you've got
But what you've got, it sure ain't a lot
And you act like it is but you know that it's not
And even if it was, would you ever give it up?
If I told you what you had was really nothing?
Nothing?
Nothing!
Yes, it's nothing
Nothing at all
Well you say you're life's a bore
And I can't quite disagree
If you judge your life by the pieces of shit that inhabit your TV
Because they stand so proud, and they talk so loud
And every other word is a lie
I've found that everyone who is anyone is a waste of time
Well know it's hard but so are you
And so am I and we'll pull through together, together
And I said that it's been years but still I fear
That someone dear will leave me here forever, forever and I said:
Hey! (Hey!) Hey! (Hey!) Hey! (Hey!) Hey! (Hey!) Hey! (Hey!) Hey! (Hey!)
Hey! You've got to keep trying
You've got to keep holding on to what you've got
(Because what you've got, it sure ain't a lot)
And hey!
Everyone's falling down
Everyone's holding out for what you've got
But what you've got, it sure ain't a lot
And you act like it is but you know that it's not
And even if it was, would you ever give it up?
If I told you what you had was really nothing?
Nothing?
Nothing!
Yes, it's nothing
Nothing at all
Nothing
You won't say nothing
You won't say nothing
And that's just fine
Take me back to that
Day when I went blind
I would like to see
Your face one last time
Take me back to that
Day when I went blind
I would like to see
Your face one last time
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But names will never hurt me
And it's been years but still I fear that someday they'll desert me
Oh, it's hard, I know
When it's time to stand alone
And no one understands you
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But names will never hurt me
Oh it's been years but still I fear that someday they'll desert me
Oh, it's hard, yes I know
When it's time to stand alone
And no one understands you
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But names will never hurt me
And it's been years but still I fear that someday they'll desert me
Oh, it's hard, I know
When it's time to stand alone
And no one understands you
