Hopeful And Hopeless

So much doubt out here in the wasteland

Like we're sinners come undone

Ain't no water to chastise me

No shade under Christ's apple tree

I'm weary with the toil

Didn't mean to say don't love me

Used to pushin' time away

Out here carvin' my own line for so long

It's hard to stop the goddamned race

Hopeful and hopeless

I'm hopeful and hopeless

All you guys, better open your eyes

Get us out of this goddamned mess

And fight for the hopeful and hopeless

I'm the one who gets the best meat

The fat of the lamb

Blessed be the sacrificial beasts

They're killing their own selves

Each time that I get close to the mark

I'm reminded of how far I've been torn apart

Strewn like a desert seed and grown like a cactus weed

I'm living on a prayer, for the

Hopeful and hopeless

Hopeful and hopeless

All you guys, better open your eyes

Get us out of this goddamned mess

And fight for the hopeful and hopeless

When you say that it's over your words

Kiss death upon my mouth

Kiss the cheeks, kiss the lips of the ones

That I love and pass it 'round

Always knew this was hell but there's no one up there looking down

I'm still here even if you don't see me

Just a waverin' in the wind

All you've been, you will breathe again

So, hurry home to me

All you've been, you will breathe again

So, hurry home to me, to the

Hopeful and hopeless

Hopeful and hopeless

All you guys, better open your eyes

Get us out of this goddamned mess

And fight for the hopeful and hopeless

All you guys, better open your eyes

Get us out of this goddamned mess

And fight for the hopeful and hopeless
