Human Waste (Acoustic Version)

Now once upon a time

In this village of the damned

I took my shot at greatness

And the goddamn gun was jammed

So I'm in a drunken state

'Cause I can't take life straight

And if I dull my eyes enough

The brightness fades

I left my heart in San Francisco

And my brain in Los Angeles

My heart just made me bitter

And my brain just made me dangerous

I don't miss either one

But I look into the sun

And I'd give anything

For one good pair of shades

The world is a wasteland

From Green Bay to Graceland

There's no one fit

To lead the human race

And you all know what we are

The throwbacks, the retards

The ever growing face of human waste

I first fell off the wagon

On the open road to nowhere

And I guess I'd still be draggin'

If I thought that I could go there

And return to sing this song

But I knew all along

It's a one-way trip

And I can't pay the fare

All my heroes are gone

And their figures cast in lead

From the fountains at their feet

To the bird shit on their head

And I can't help but wonder

As they lay six feet under

Did they die for me

Or did they even care?
