hey mama when you leave don t leave a thing behind i don t want nothing i can t use nothing take care into the hall and if you see my friends tell em i m fine not using nothing almost burned out my eyes and threw my ears down to the floor i didn t see nothing i didn t hear nothing i stood there like a block of stone knowing all i had to know and nothing more man that s nothing cause brothers our troubles are locked in each others arms and you better pray that they never find you cause your back ain t strong enough for burdens double fold they d crush you down down into nothing being born is going blind and bowing down a thousand times to echoes strung on pure temptation sorrow and solitude these are the precious things and the only words that are worth remembering1
