The Crucified - So-Called Living, 1991 lyrics

3 a.m. shots ring again

good-bye to another night's rest

pusher in the tradewinds been cold two days

found dead by the manager's kid

more fights at the show last night

more leave in the ambulance

homeboy spendin' the night in emergency

caught a monkey-wrench in 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 (ever see despair? just look in my eyes)

nowhere

watch me going (here i was born and here I'll die)

nowhere

so whats the use continuing?

if living means nothing more

than to face another week trying to make ends meet?

finished off by passing out on the floor

can't you see that there's more to this?

or are you content at wasting away?

live a life that's lost, hide from the cost

end up dead in a downtown alley-way

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 faces
