I`ve tried it all twice or more
Told the lies and hit the floor
Broken down, what is real?
Hoping, doubt try to kill
Each other in the war that`s in
My head I hurt from all my sins
Grin and bare the pain and angst
Sort thru all my brain`s complaints
Ain`t enough I need some help
What`s it like to be myself
Hands are shaky, fuse is short
Starin` at the news report
To ignore the sound is hard
Bankrupt with a credit card
House I live in is a mess
Sqwermin in my flesh
[Hook:]
What do you want from me?
I have given all I can
I don`t know what it`s gonna take
Can you make me understand?
What do you want from me?
Is it just no use to try?
I don`t know what it`s gonna take
Because I`ve no more tears to cry
Got no dough to pay the bills
Sanity ran for the hills
Sorta feels like comin` down
Comin` down, comin` down
Lightnin` flashing, poorin` rain
My reflection says you`re in pain
You`re insane, can`t explain
Why I tend to think these things
Demons with there horns and fangs
Steal from you then call you names
Planes and trains, automobiles
Same thing as a bag of pills
Make it strong and make it fast
Ain`t no way to make it last
Down and out, sick and tired
I wallow in the mire
[Hook:]
What do you want from me?
I have given all I can
I don`t know what it`s gonna take
Can you make me understand?
What do you want from me?
Is it just no use to try?
I don`t know what it`s gonna take
Because I`ve no more tears to cry
Workin` hard may leave you broke
Gotta learn to steal from folks
Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie
Chevrolet not zenith skies
Sky`s are full of poison air
Family photo, comb your hair
Wear a smile, wear a tie
Lie and don`t be camera shy
Damn if I could be like you
I`d make the same mistakes you do
Murder people over seas
For the need to feed your greed
Nothing`s free, a price was paid
With a rocket propelled grenade
Morning`s purple, day is gray
Just wanted to say hey
[Hook:]
What do you want from me?
I have given all I can
I don`t know what it`s gonna take
Can you make me understand?
What do you want from me?
Is it just no use to try?
I don`t know what it`s gonna take
Because I`ve no more tears to cry
What do you want from me?
I have given all I can
I don`t know what it`s gonna take
Can you make me understand?
What do you want from me?
Is it just no use to try?
I don`t know what it`s gonna take
Because I`ve no
[Bridge:]
Are you scared to death and do you count your breath
what`s really going don`t got much time left
the next
second is now and now was just then
and i`ll never
get that moment back again
[twice]
