The Crucified - So-Called Living, 1991

3 A.M., shots ring again
Goodbye to another night's rest
Pusher in the trade winds; cold two days
Found dead by the manager's kid
More fights at the show last night
More leave in the ambulance
Homeboy spending the night in emergency
Caught a monkey-wrench to the head

A life full of nothing, or little more
This city starts to take its toll
Frustration aches, the tension breaks
Self-destruction takes its hold

(Watch me going nowhere)
Ever see despair? Just look in my eyes
(Watch me going nowhere)
Here I was born and here I'll die
(Watch me going nowhere)
Ever see despair? Just look in my eyes
(Watch me going nowhere)

So what's the use continuing
If living means nothing more
Than to face another week trying to make ends meet
Finished off passing out on the floor?
Can't you see that there's more to this?
Or are you content just wasting away?
Live a life that's lost, yeah, you hide from the cost
End up dead in a downtown alleyway

A hand extended; there's life at the cross
There's no need to go on living this way
Can't take seeing another life lost
Or feel again that empty look on your face

(Watch me going nowhere)
Ever see despair? Just look in my eyes
(Watch me going nowhere)
Here I was born and here I'll die
(Watch me going nowhere)
Ever see despair? Just look in my eyes
(Watch me going nowhere)

(Watch me going nowhere)
Ever see despair? Just look in my eyes
(Watch me going nowhere)
I don't wanna die
