Now once upon a time
In this village of the damned
I took my shot at greatness
And the goddamn gun was jammed
So I`m in a drunken state
`Cause I can`t take life straight
And if I dull my eyes enough
The brightness fades
I left my heart in San Francisco
And my brain in Los Angeles
My heart just made me bitter
And my brain just made me dangerous
I don`t miss either one
But I look into the sun
And I`d give anything
For one good pair of shades
The world is a wasteland
From Green Bay to Graceland
There`s no one fit
To lead the human race
And you all know what we are
The throwbacks, the retards
The ever growing face of human waste
I first fell off the wagon
On the open road to nowhere
And I guess I`d still be draggin`
If I thought that I could go there
And return to sing this song
But I knew all along
It`s a one-way trip
And I can`t pay the fare
All my heroes are gone
And their figures cast in lead
From the fountains at their feet
To the bird shit on their head
And I can`t help but wonder
As they lay six feet under
Did they die for me
Or did they even care?
