It's a long way back
From where I've fallen from
It's a very hard fall
It's very cruel town
And my dress is torn
And I've got no j**els
And I'm hungry for
A life a little less cruel
Some dignity
Not too much sorrow
Just a little bit of hope
Hold out for tomorrow
[Chorus]
Oh I don't care what it takes my friend
I will never go hungry, go hungry again
Oh and I don't care what I have to pretend
I will never go hungry, go hungry again
[Verse 2]
It's a long ride home
And my head is bowed
And you're no comfort to me now
And it's fully loaded
And it's set on stun
At least I know
That I have won
And my wig's on crooked
And I've got no shoes
I rock back and forth
And I wait for you
[Chorus]
Oh I don't care what it takes my friend
I will never go hungry, go hungry again
Oh and I don't care what have to defend
I will never go hungry, go hungry again
[Verse 3]
And out of it all
I have survived
From the fires of hell
I am alive
Sin its costs your spirit
Survived the mess you've made
Oh god can you hear us?
You're my salvation day
And it's time for me, yeah
To take a stand
And it's time for me, yeah
To be a man
[Chorus]
And I don't care what it takes my friend
I will never go hungry, go hungry again
Oh and I don't care what I have to pretend
I will never go hungry, go hungry again
[Outro]
And the phoenix she rises
She is sure to descend
She will never go hungry, go hungry again
And you're looking to me
More and more like a godsend
We will never go hungry, go hungry again
And we owe each other nothing
There's no one left here to offend
We will never go hungry, go hungry again
