What's Left Of Me

For thirty hard years I was a newspaperman

Made my living with a pen and a pad

God I miss the smell of paper and the ink on my hands

Been back from the desert for a year or so

Left more in the sand then you'll ever know

Another war's waiting for me when I got back home

In the name of the flags one gave their lives

I'm still living yeah semper fi

Well that's my story what else can I say

Hey hey

I got a lot to give so can't you see

I'm still breathing an my heart still beats

They took the car but they left the lease

Does anybody want what's left of me

Boarding up the house they left the keys

For growing on my city rolled up these streets

I ain't checking out I still got my dreams

Does anybody want what's left of me hey hey

They called us dirty harry we're a punk rock band

When it's sold off cbgb's I don't understand

All that's left now are the t-shirts

And the comp' for a good plan

I sold my drums to make ends meet

The band broke up we had to eat

It's the same old **** it happens more these days

Hey hey

I got a lot to give so can't you see

I'm still breathing and my heart still beats

They took the car but they left the lease

Does anybody want what's left of me

Boarding up the house they left the keys

For growing on my city rolled up these streets

I ain't checking out I still got my dreams

Does anybody want what's left of me hey hey

I'm a teacher I'm a farmer I'm a union man

It's getting harder to make a living on this hard land

We ain't working in our factories

All these jobs went overseas

Does anybody want does anybody want

Does anybody want what's left of me

I got a lot to give so can't you see

I'm still breathing and my heart still beats

They took the car but they left the lease

Does anybody want what's left of me

Does anybody want to buy or rent

Take the chance or place a bet

I ain't checking out I still got my dreams

Does anybody want what's left of me hey hey

Does anybody want does anybody want

Does anybody want what's left of me hey hey

Does anybody want does anybody want

Does anybody want what's left of me
