Requiem For Youth

My life's been abused and my mind is confused
Best must have passed by
So now I must die!
Writing these words now, finding it hard
To tell you my problems you'll just disregard
Yeah!

See these words I write?!
Oh lend me your ears, just for toniiiiiiiight. Yeah!

Love it is something could never understand
Alcohol it seems is all I demand.

Deeper and deeper depression set in.
You don't understand now the way I have been. Yeah!

See these words I write
Oh lend me your ears, just for toniiiiiight. Yeah!

You say you'll pull through
You don't really care
To you I am scum
Just a flea in your hair

He pays you no money
The boss wants it all
Oh answer him back
Redundant you faaaaaaaaaaaaall, Yeah!

Redundant you fall!

Oh go on they say now through rough and grim
They don't understand the state I am in
I'm lonely and cold I've got scars on my wrist
I know if I die, I would not be missed. Yeah!

To these words I write
Oh lend me your ears just for tonight

Been on my own now, I stop day and night
When out on the street I get into a fight
Sorry for myself Yeah maybe it's true
I'm coked up in my room with nothing to do

*Yeah!* Now I'm unemployed

I'd blame it on them, but I cannot win
Holding the knife now to plunge in my chest
I ain't got the guts, maybe it's best!
