Empty Glass — текст песни (Pete Townshend)

Why was I born today
Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say
I never had a chance
But opportunity`s now in my hands

I stand with my guitar
All I need`s a mirror
Then I`m a star
I`m so sick of dud TV
Next time you switch on
You might see me...oh.what a thrill for you

I`ve been there and gone there
I`ve lived there and bummed there
I`ve spinned there, I gave there
I drank there and I slaved there

I`ve had enough of the way things been done
Every man on a razors edge
Someone has used us to kill with the same gun
Killing each other by driving a wedge

My life`s a mess I wait for you to pass
I stand here at the bar, I hold an empty glass

Why was I born today
Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say
I didn`t get a chance
Opportunity`s in my hand

I stand with my guitar
All I need`s a mirror
Then I`m a star
I`m so sick of dud TV
Next time you switch on
You might see me...

I`ve been there and gone there
I`ve lived there and bummed there
I`ve spinned there, I gave there
I drank there and I slaved there

I`ve had enough of the way things have been done
Every man on a razors edge
Someone has used us to shoot with the same gun
We where killing each other by driving a wedge

My life`s a mess I wait for you to pass
I stand here at the bar, I hold an empty glass

Don`t worry smile and dance
You just can work life out
Don`t let down moods entrance you
Take the wine and shout

My life`s a mess I wait for you to pass
I stand here at the bar, I hold an empty glass
