this song is sung for anyone that s listening this song is for the broken spirited man this song is for anyone left standing after the strain of a slow sad end it seems everybody wants what someone else has there s sorrow enough for all just go in any bar and ask with a beer in each hand and a smile in between all around s a world grown mean we ve all had our ups and downs it s been mostly down around here now this whole damn mess is becoming quite clear looks like we re all looking for a life worth livin that s why we drink ourselves to sleep yeah we re all looking for a life worth livin that s why we pray for our souls to keep ah  there s nothing left now but broken pieces of one man s broken will to care and in the end before all s said and done how many others might follow him there this song is sung for anyone that s listening this song is for the broken spirited man and this song is for anyone left standing after the strain of a slow sad end midnight is comin round still mostly down around here now this whole damn mess is becoming quite clear looks like we re all looking for a life worth livin that s why we drink ourselves to sleep yeah we re all looking for a life worth livin that s why we pray for our souls to keep1
