Troubled men write troubled songs,
I shouldn't have to mind at all
That they're crying
yet I do
Happy girls throw up some more
I shouldn't have to mind at all
that they're ashamed
yet I do
Simple men make simple plans
I shouldn't have to mind at all
that they're failing
but I do
I care about you.
I want to help you.
I want to be there
when no one else can
yet I can't.
though I try to
God hates **** they told to me
One day you see
and though I don't quite love my fellow man
to the extent with which they reprimand
I cared
Come to me you down trodden
And nail me to the cross
if makes you sleep at night
if you think it will make you feel alright
just do it
Nike doesn't know at all
and god damnit I'll take the fall
for you
whoever you may be
Mar me with your beliefs
and I will heal you with these hands
but should they wither
or stop to move
my words will have to do
because they are all I have to give you
Take my love
take it far
to the cities everywhere
that children cry
that the innocent die
hell
take it anywhere
that could use a bit
of encouragement
I'm not self-less
I'll want a reward
Give me an update
On how things come to be
And perhaps someday
Someone will bring love back to me
but just your words
that is enough
because really,
that's all I ask of you
I shouldn't have to mind at all
That they're crying
yet I do
Happy girls throw up some more
I shouldn't have to mind at all

yet I do
