Upstanding Youth — Desperation lyrics

Lyrics

You never thought you’d be the one that they find on the ground
When they scrape the bottom of the barrel, you are what they found
His fear of death and starvation is what motivates this man
When you’re desperate you’ll do almost anything you can
Desperation is living here with me
Desperation is smiling down on me
Desperation, desperation, I have no freedom to be free
Desperation please let me be
Excuse me this time, but I’ve seen what you do
You’re shamed you’re naked, humiliated too
With no ego and no pride left, you wonder who you are
You feel like you’ve been pushed into a corner
And it shouldn’t go this far
No, no, no, you know you know this man
No, no, no, he’ll do almost anything he can
