Those Poor Bastards — With Hell so Near lyrics

Lyrics

got nothin to say upon myself
im just a pooor bastard like everyone else
sittin in the garage with gasoline
huffin fumes with my friends from off the street
well this here cliff looks mighty steep
and i could find a home among the ragged rocks beneath
and its a long way down
i got the time
with hell so near
im desperate tonight
fightin with some guy whos twice my size
hes got the look of murder in his beady empty eyes
luckily for me i brought my knife
i stab him once then he smashes in my face
well no one tries to stop my fall
i look to them as they stand there and applaud
and its a long way down
i got the time
with hell so near
im desperate tonight
everythings divided black or white
theres good and evil
theres wrong and theres right
i guess i know what side im on when i try to do right
others tell me i done wrong
well this here river looks wide and deep
and i could find a home among the bones and weeds
beneath
and its a long way down
i got the time
with hell so near
im desperate tonight
im desperate tonight
