Here's to all you ragged ones and torn Some of us are waiting here a lifetime to be born THere are some things you will save Ah but most we'll cast away Bearing the load bearing the load Stories in your face Well they use no words at all My cadences they're all car crashed On the retaining wall And there are no graveyards We know better than our own Bearing the load bearing the load Turn out on the highway Yeah and it's never what it seems Just what was that Tugging at your sleeve Prayers slip through the fan blades Or they open every door Bearing the load bearing the load
