Good Riddance - Save The Children lyrics

Not the one to live or die alone Or keep a chain around the telephone If there's a fortune at my fingers it'll be a crime Struck down on the dirty floor Ten locks on the cellar door I haven't slept for weeks and I'm doing fine In a better world I'd save the children overseas In another life I'd play a meaner brand of god Such good intentions never standing in the fore And I swear it's me never letting go You can't fail if you've never tried Crouched down from the view outside Foot steps in time with a ticking heart So tired of the endless days Payback for my selfish ways Feels like I've lost before I even start
