I remember the life I used to live Governement stamps and re Livin' in a tent down by the cliff Desperation Blues Eating lunch out of a garbage can My board shorts were the only clothes I had They told me I never had a chance now Desperation Blues You know the blind can't lead the blind Must be an escape that we can find It ain't a bottle or a pint No... no You know it's hard to see the signs Day by day they pass us by It's time to open up our eyes O... O I won't give up I won't give up on you These dreams we share Someday they're gonna come true So I don't wanna see you cryin' It's only dark until the sun starts risin' I won't give up I won't give up on you... I won't give up on you... The waves were, my only salvation We were living off the plantation My papa was incarceration now Desperation Blues S were my only friends Cause' mom's forgot to pay the rent, oh no I thought this life would never end Desperation Blues You know the blind can't lead the blind Must be an escape that we can find It ain't a bottle or a pint No no. You know it's hard to see the signs Day by day they pass us by It's time to open up our eyes O... O I won't give up I won't give up on you These dreams we share Someday they're gonna come true So I don't wanna see you cryin' It's only dark until the sun starts risin' I won't give up I won't give up on you... I won't give up on you...
