lyrics

I woke up this morning full of life
But I’ll go to bed tonight crying inside
I met an old lady who’s son had just died
A soldier abroad he was sacrifried
He believed their bullshit and trusted their lies
Happy for his country to send him to die
His mother soon learned it was a phoney war
She used to vote but she won’t anymore

I met a man and he was skinny and lost
He lived in a shed and he wakes with the frost
I asked him why he lives in a shed
The government they don’t give a fuck he said
I asked him if his family would let him stay
He picked up his guitar and started to play

I met a pretty girl and she seemed happy and free
But she said her mind had broke from all the insanity
And when it gets too much she slashes her arms
Then holds out her hands with pools of blood in her palms
I asked her if her parents knew of her pain
She says they can’t feel love they only feel shame
