Are you going to be there when I have grown old Will you be the one to sanctify my soul Or have you lost faith, has our flame grown cold Will you ever love me again Do you even miss me Am I up there in your thoughts Did I waste my time with the love that I brought I might never be forgiven, but am I already forgot Will you ever love me again Sometimes I think that I could learn from my past But then it comes right back and puts me on my ass Do you ever wonder what we might have built Do you ever dream of a life fully fulfilled We could bury the hatchet that had us both killed Will you ever love me again Do you even hear me, do you heed my song if no one is listening then who will sing along I said everything right but I done it all wrong Will you ever love me again Sometimes I think about the would, could, should But my future it ain't looking too good Do you even know me, how long has it been It all fell apart, I have not been the same sense But can you remember all the good times we spent Will you ever love me again Sometimes I think about taking the easy way out But I'd rather be a fool than a doubter Sometimes I think about taking the only way out But then I stop to smell the flowers Sometimes I think about taking the lonely way out But then I fall in love all again

Back in his hay day Jimmy used to play In a Rock N Roll band on the county fair stage They opened for some pretty big names But their big break never came These days Jimmy don't go too far He's worn a path in the floor between the jukebox and the bar Smokin' and drinkin' and cursin' about his union dues But every Thursday night he's in the limelight Singin' his heart out for the bar flies The Karaoke King reliving his glory days He'd Sing If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me Baby be a simple kind of man Bill I believe this is killing me as the smile ran away from his face But I swear that I could be a movie star if I could get out of this place Now Jimmy's got his buzz on he's feelin' pretty good Knockin' back the bottom shelf like we knew he would Slurrin' his words and swayin' in his seat Telling big fish stories nobody believes Brenda at the bar has got a pretty heavy pour He spends half his pay here the rest on child support He flirts with the young girls but they just walk away He'll show 'em what he's got when he's up on the stage So don't stop believing, hold on to that feeling Take it to the limit Everything dies baby, that's a fact Maybe everything that dies someday comes back Put your make up on, put your hair up pretty Cuz tramps like us, baby we were born to run It's last call and Jimmy orders one more But he can never drink enough to find what he's lookin' for Fires up the Ford and turns on the radio It says Now that it's raining more than ever, know that we'll still have each other You can stand under my umbrella Turns it off and drives the rest of the way Swervin' and cursin' about the kids these days Walks in the door to greet his sadness Reaches for a magazine under the mattress Gets what he needs and falls off to sleep Dreamin' about his broken dreams Bye bye Miss American Pie, drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singin' this will be the day that I die I'm so lonesome I could cry Nothing really matters, anyone can see Nothing really matters to me

My generation is constantly broke From the American Dream we were violently awoke Drowning in debt and justified fear Once in a lifetime recessions every couple of years Hallelujah, I'm a Bum Hallelujah, Bum again Come and give us a handout to revive us again You're telling me I live in the land of the free But I'm trapped in a cage of systematic poverty Just to survive takes all that I've got Just so some jerk can have his 27th yacht Hallelujah, I'm a bum Hallelujah, bum again Come and give us a handout to revive us again No matter how hard I work I make a starvation wage So I'll be funded by the state like the wars that we wage The most lavish of lifestyle of the most upper crust bum Doesn't cost but a fraction of their drone striking bombs Hallelujah, I'm a bum Hallelujah, I'm a bum No cop is a good cop No war is ever won I'll bleed the state for all that their worth Cuz you've been suckin' silver spoons since the day of your birth If the wealthy would pay even half their fair share The rest of us might have a little health care Hallelujah I'm a bum Hallelujah, bum again Nothing else matters but me and my friends We've all been out of work for months and for months They gave us $1200 and they said best of luck But I got approved for that PUA It's probably a bad sign it's the most I've ever made Hallelujah I'm a bum Hallelujah I'm a bum again Come and give us another stimulus to stimulate us again Well the whole worlds on fire, a big pile of shambles So I figure it's a good time to head out and ramble Took my hard earned unemployment and bought myself a truck I'll live life on the road cuz I don't give a damn Hallelujah I'm a bum Hallelujah, I'm a bum Don't ask where I'm goin', don't ask where I'm from The wealthy run the game, all liars and cheats Before I sell my soul I will live on the streets These systems and structures, they're all rigged and wrong I'm not playin' along, I am no king's pawn Hallelujah, I'm a Bum Hallelujah, I'm a bum You might have more money but I have more fun I don't want you pity, I'm not askin' for a favor But I want an end to exploited labor And a deconstruction of scarcity and greed To rebuild based on meeting everyone's needs Hallelujah, I'm a bum Hallelujah, bum again Come and give us a hand out to revive us again
