Lyrics

[Intro]
(Hey)
(Hey)
(Hey)
(Hey)
[Verse 1]
(Hey)
(Hey)
[Verse 2]
(Hey)
(Hey)
[Verse 3]
What happened to my heroes?
They seemed to disappear
The idols keep on singin'
But they don't sound sincere
[Chorus]
Oh, woe is me
(Hey)
(Hey)
Oh, woe is me
(Hey)
(Hey)
[Verse 4]
I don't got no money
All I got's a name
The future's lookin' hazy
But who can I blame?
[Chorus]
Oh, woe is me
(Hey)
(Hey)
Oh, woe is me
(Hey)
Is me (Hey)
(Hey)
Woe is me (Hey)
(Hey)
Is me, me, me, me, me (Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey)
(Hey)
[Verse 5]
What happened to the parties?
I thought they'd never end
I lost my only lover
Proves you can't trust a friend
[Chorus]
Oh, woe is me
(Hey)
(Hey)
Oh, woe is me
(Hey)
(Hey)
Oh, woe is me (Hey, hey)
(Hey)
(Hey)
Oh, woe is me (Hey, hey)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Hey, hey)
[Outro]
(Hey)
(Hey)
(Hey)
