Lyrics: I guess by now you’re feeling sorry for me Well that’s the way this story’s meant to be Take a look around, you won’t see much that’s right Your kid might be in the Boy Scouts, but he’s kicking queers at night Tell me a single thing life teaches you Tell me a single death that reaches you You deny you’ve got a soul to preach to Try and save him, I beseech you I’ve done all I can, he never cut his hair I washed my hands of the whole affair Twenty years in jail seems a little harsh But I bow to the law and the chosen path Is it me for a moment? The stars are falling The heat is rising The past is calling Is it me for a moment? The stars are falling The heat is rising The past is calling I guess by now you’re feeling sorry for him Well that’s OK, ’cause they put him in the bin Take a look around, take a walk out in the park You can still see all the old ladies scared stiff of the dark Tell me a single thing life teaches you Tell me a single death that reaches you You deny you’ve got a soul to preach to Try and save him, I beseech you Tell me a single thing life teaches you Tell me a single death that reaches you You deny you’ve got a soul to preach to Try and save him, I beseech you (The chosen path) (I’ve done all I can) (I’ve done all I can) Tell me a single thing life teaches you Tell me a single death that reaches you You deny you’ve got a soul to preach to Try and save him, I beseech you (The chosen path) Some nights I still sleep on the beach Remember when stars were in reach
