Pat MacDonald - The Fall (Kurt's Blues) lyrics

Never even knew you But I heard your note today You talk about injustice And how we look the other way I knew full well your meaning But my world just moves too fast It's a shame about your future It's a crime about your past Was there no one who could save you From the prison of each breath Like Rapunzel in her tower Isolation equals d**h Was there no one who could rescue you From the prison of your pain Am I tougher or just lucky Our fate didn't end the same But my heart has run on empty Since I heard the f**in' news We're a heartless, Godless culture We'd walk nowhere in your shoes For me it's 6:30 in the morning And my moods as black as rain I am 30 light years older But I understand your pain They'll all hate you 'Cause you left them here To struggle on their own I'm sorry you saw no choice 'Til d**h chilled you to the bone But my heart has run on empty Since I heard the f**in' news We're a heartless, Godless culture We'd walk nowhere in your shoes Well the good news if there's any Is you ever lived at all But our country k**s its heroes We just raise them for the fall
