about

This little portrait of despair was originally released in 1992 on Picture Perfect Fool. The song wears its heart on its sleeve, and doesn't really need a lot of extra explanation. The world is a hard, cold place and there's a lot of people who are simply too vulnerable to navigate it well. Whatever sympathy you can muster would probably be appreciated.

lyrics

There's a lot of people walking round with nothing on their mind
It seems some time ago they up and left the world behind
They don't know what they're doing, they don't know how to try
But that's a hard way to live your life and a harder way to die

There's a lot of people walking round with scars left on their hearts
They don't talk to anyone for fear of pulling the seams apart
Some folks call them crazy, some just call them shy
But that's a hard way to live your life and a harder way to die

Some people are just so sad that they can't even cry
Some people even think the whole idea of truth is a lie

There's a lot of people talking round that no one wants to hear
The public tunes the public out 'til the voices disappear
Everyone wants to change the world and no one cares about why
It's such a lonely world out there it makes you want to cry
And that's a hard way to live your life and a harder way to die
