What's Left Of Me
For thirty odd years I was a newspaperman
I made my living with a pen and a pad
God I miss the smell of paper and the ink on my hands
Come on
Been back from the desert for a year or so
Left more in the sand then you'll ever know
Another war was waiting for me when I got back home
In the name of the flags one gave their lives
I'm still living, yeah, semper fi
Well that's my story, what else can I say
Hey hey
I got a lot to give say can you see
I'm still breathing and my heart still beats
They took the car but they left the lease
Does anybody want what's left of me?
Boarded up the house, they left the keys
Foreclosed on my city, rolled up these streets
But I ain't checking out, I still got my dreams
Does anybody want what's left of me?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
They called us "dirty harry", we're a punk rock band
Why they sold old cbgb's I don't understand
All that’s left now are the t-shirts and they come from japan
I sold my drums to make ends meet
The band broke up, we had to eat
It's the same old shit, it just happens more these days
Hey, hey
I got a lot to give say can you see
I'm still breathing and my heart still beats
They took the car but they left the lease
Does anybody want what's left of me?
Boarded up the house, they left the keys
Foreclosed on my city, rolled up these streets
But I ain't checking out, I still got my dreams
Does anybody want what's left of me?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I'm a teacher, I'm a farmer, I'm a union man
It's getting hard to make a living in this hard land
We ain't working in our factories, all those jobs went overseas
Hey, hey
Does anybody want, does anybody want
Does anybody want what's left of me?
I got a lot to give, say can you see
I'm still breathing and my heart still beats
They took the car but they left the lease
Does anybody want what's left of me?
Does anybody want to buy or rent
Take a chance or place a bet?
I ain't checking out, I still got my dreams
Does anybody want what's left of me?
Hey, hey
Does anybody want, does anybody want
Does anybody want what's left of me?
Hey, hey
Does anybody want, does anybody want
Does anybody want what's left of me?
