now i only see clouds[00:00:03]
where once i had a thousand friends[00:00:07]
now got a crowd[00:00:11]
i used to say that everything[00:00:14]
will work out in the end[00:00:18]
but to the beaten and heartbroken ones[00:00:21]
you just can't pretend[00:00:25]
where once i had an open heart[00:00:31]
now i close it like a fort[00:00:34]
with great stone walls and archers poised[00:00:37]
and a guard at every door[00:00:41]
and if a stranger should come knocking[00:00:45]
on a cold and lampless night[00:00:49]
with a cloak and dagger close at hand[00:00:52]
i'll be safe inside.[00:00:56]
here's three cheers for the beaten[00:01:01]
three cheers for the broke[00:01:05]
here's three cheers for the wind-blown ones[00:01:08]
at the bottom of that rope[00:01:12]
here's three cheers for those[00:01:15]
cannot say the glass is half full[00:01:19]
here's three cheers if you can't count sheep[00:01:23]
and you end up counting wolves[00:01:27]
the birds are singin' in the trees[00:01:34]
but little do they know[00:01:38]
the very limbs they stand upon[00:01:42]
will be buried in the snow[00:01:45]
and the wavin trees and buzzin bees[00:01:49]
and flowers pink and red[00:01:52]
will all turn grey and all fall down[00:01:56]
when summer ends[00:02:00]
all that's good and right i've seen[00:02:05]
you could balance on a knife[00:02:09]
you may call it cynical[00:02:13]
but i just call it life[00:02:16]
and those few with golden souls[00:02:20]
will be trampled in the ground[00:02:23]
under the boots of those marchin fools[00:02:27]
who always run this town[00:02:31]
here's three cheers for the beaten[00:02:35]
three cheers for the broke[00:02:40]
here's three cheers for the wind blown ones[00:02:43]
at the bottom of that rope[00:02:47]
here's three cheers for those[00:02:50]
cannot say the glass is half full[00:02:53]
here's three cheers if you can't count sheep[00:02:57]
and you end up counting wolves[00:03:01]
is there nobody out there to lift[00:03:09]
the curse upon this place[00:03:12]
for sake of all us rats down here[00:03:16]
circling a maze?[00:03:20]
if a message in a bottle[00:03:23]
then i'd send it off in haste[00:03:27]
in a rocket at the speed of sound bound[00:03:30]
for outer space![00:03:35]
