|
Hey mama, when you leave
|
|
Don''t leave a thing behind
|
|
I don''t want nothin''
|
|
I can''t use nothin''
|
|
|
|
Take care into the hall
|
|
And if you see my friends
|
|
Tell them I''m fine
|
|
Not using nothin''
|
|
|
|
Almost burned out my eyes
|
|
Threw my ears down to the floor
|
|
I didn''t see nothin''
|
|
I didn''t hear nothin''
|
|
|
|
I stood there like a block of stone
|
|
Knowin'' all I had to know
|
|
And nothin'' more
|
|
Man, that''s nothin''
|
|
|
|
As brothers our troubles are
|
|
Locked in each others arms
|
|
And you better pray
|
|
They never find you
|
|
|
|
Your back ain''t strong enough
|
|
For burdens doublefold
|
|
They''d crush you down
|
|
Down into nothin''
|
|
|
|
Being born is going blind
|
|
And buying down a thousand times
|
|
To echoes strung
|
|
On pure temptation
|
|
|
|
Sorrow and solitude
|
|
These are the precious things
|
|
And the only words
|
|
That are worth rememberin''
|
