This song is sung for anyone that`s listening
This song is for the broken-spirited man
This song is for anyone left standing
After the strain of a slow, sad end
It seems everybody wants what someone else has
There`s sorrow enough for all
Just go in any bar and ask
With a beer in each hand and a smile in between
All around`s a world grown mean
We`ve all had our ups and downs
It`s been mostly down around here
Now this whole damn mess is becoming quite clear
Looks like we`re all looking for a life worth livin`
That`s why we drink ourselves to sleep
Yeah, we`re all looking for a life worth livin`
That`s why we pray for our souls to keep
There`s nothing left now but broken pieces
Of one man`s broken will to care
And in the end before all is said and done
How many others might follow him there?
This song is sung for anyone that`s listening
This song is for the broken-spirited man
This song is for anyone left standing
After the strain of a slow, sad end
Midnight is comin` `round
Still mostly down around here
Now this whole damn mess is becoming quite clear
