The end of the century I said my goodbyes For what it's worth I always aim to please But I nearly died For what it's worth Come on lay with me 'Cause I'm on fire For what it's worth I tear the sun in three To light up your eyes For what it's worth For what it's worth For what it's worth For what it's worth Broke up the family Everybody cried For what it's worth I have a slow disease That sucked me dry For what it's worth Come on walk with me Into the rising tide For what it's worth Filled a cavity Your god shaped hole tonight For what it's worth For what it's worth For what it's worth For what it's worth For what it's worth For what it's worth For what it's worth For what it's worth No one cares when you're out on the street Picking up the pieces to make ends meet No one cares when you're down in the gutter Got no friends got no lover No one cares when you're out on the street Picking up the pieces to make ends meet No one cares when you're down in the gutter Got no friends got no lover For what it's worth Got no lover For what it's worth Got no lover For what it's worth Got no lover For what it's worth Got no lover For what it's worth Got no lover For what it's worth Got no lover For what it's worth Got no lover Got no friends got no lover
