Human Waste

Now once upon a time
 In this village of the damned
 I took my shot at greatness
 And the goddamn gun was jammed
 So I'm in a drunken state
 'Cause I can't take life straight
 And if I dull my eyes enough
 The brightness fades
 I left my heart in San Francisco
 And my brain in Los Angeles
 My heart just made me bitter
 And my brain just made me dangerous
 I don't miss either one
 But I look into the sun
 And I'd give anything
 For one good pair of shades
 The world is a wasteland
 From Green Bay to Graceland
 There's no one fit
 To lead the human race
 And you all know what we are
 The throwbacks, the retards
 The ever growing face of human waste
 I first fell off the wagon
 On the open road to nowhere
 And I guess I'd still be draggin'
 If I thought that I could go there
 And return to sing this song
 But I knew all along
 It's a one-way trip
 And I can't pay the fare
 All my heroes are gone
 And their figures cast in lead
 From the fountains at their feet
 To the bird shit on their head
 And I can't help but wonder
 As they lay six feet under
 Did they die for me
 Or did they even care?
