Damn Life — текст песни (John Cale)

Damn life

Damn life

Whats it worth?

Damn life

Getting on without

This city

Its just self-pity

Damn life

Youre just not worth it

Youre just not worth the pain



Theyll eat you alive

Theyll drink the sweat from your brow

Eating the salt of the earth youll never know

Oh no, respect

Respect

Whats respect?

Cause and effect

Self respect



She was the one got left behind

She was the one got lost

Never took from anybody

Self-sufficient at any cost

No, nothing can break this heart of mine

It stands invincible all the time

You always get what you left behind

Seek and you shall find

Seek and you shall find

Damn life



So shes still wandering her heart away

Doesnt even know if its night or day

And even if someone helped her up

Shed stand little hope

Of recognizing those friends she had

And in many, many ways

Those friends were glad
