Desperation Blues

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...
