This song is sung for anyone that's listening This song is for the broken-spirited man This song is for anyone left standing After the strain of a slow, sad end It seems everybody wants what someone else has There's sorrow enough for all, just go in any bar and ask With a beer in each hand and a smile in between All around's a world grown mean We've all had our ups and downs It's been mostly down around here Now this whole damn mess is becoming quite clear Looks like we're all looking for a life worth livin' That's why we drink ourselves to sleep Yeah, we're all looking for a life worth livin' That's why we pray for our souls to keep There's nothing left now but broken pieces Of one man's broken will to care And in the end before all is said and done How many others might follow him there? This song is sung for anyone that's listening This song is for the broken-spirited man This song is for anyone left standing After the strain of a slow, sad end Midnight is comin' 'round Still mostly down around here Now this whole damn mess is becoming quite clear Looks like we're all looking for a life worth livin' That's why we drink ourselves to sleep Yeah, we're all looking for a life worth livin' That's why we pray for our souls to keep
