Well I know that times are rough
And some folks got way less than me
And I try my best to do what I can
And I can’t ignore what I see
Well wether it’s a beer or whether it’s a smoke
I know how hard it can be
And those tear - covered eyes
Can’t even get a napkin for free
So Alone oh Alone
You can not rely on the greed
Oh your own all alone
You can not rely on the greed
Well a long time ago
I didn’t have a dime to my name
Cause the drugs cost me all of my youth and
While the puppet was held up by strings
And my body wore down
The sweat the cold
Though stuck my voice could still say
Yeah fuck this shit I ain’t dying like this
No this ain’t my day to face
So Alone
No You can not rely on the greed
Oh your own
NO You can not rely on the greed
Well there was a few times
My life flashed by
And I didn’t know if I would survive
And the screaming through the walls
Reflected how it all
Could’ve been the end of the line
I don’t judge no one
Don’t know what roads they run
Everyone’s fighting their fight
So extend what you can
No matter in the end
Cause your cash don’t mean shit when you die
So Alone oh Alone
You can’t not rely on the greed
Oh your own all alone
You can’t not rely on the greed
