Lyrics

There's gotta be a reason that I'm here on Earth Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt The changing of the seasons never changed my hurt So what's it worth, what's it worth? Worth another shot of whiskey and another sip of gin Another drop of poison that is slowly sinkin' in If we're going down together better take another hit We won't be here forever so let's make the best of it Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Walking down to the burial ground with a sad song in his brain General Cloud is an old man now but it feels like yesterday He was on the front lines, stranded on the beach Crawling to his best friend, floatin' in the sea But he didn't make it, he still can't believe How arbitrary fate is, he says There's gotta be a reason that I'm here on Earth Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt The changing of the seasons never changed my hurt So what's it worth, what's it worth? Worth another shot of whiskey and another sip of gin Another drop of poison that is slowly sinkin' in If we're going down together better take another hit We won't be here forever so let's make the best of it Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh She went down to her job in town with a sad song in her heart 33 with a wasted dream to become a movie star Living out a suitcase, serving at a bar Saving up some pennies working after dark Is she gonna make it? She still can't believe How arbitrary fate is, she says There's gotta be a reason that I'm here on Earth Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt The changing of the seasons never changed my hurt So what's it worth, what's it worth? Worth another shot of whiskey and another sip of gin Another drop of poison that is slowly sinkin' in If we're going down together better take another hit We won't be here forever so let's make the best of it Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh There's gotta be a reason that I'm here on Earth Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt The changing of the seasons never changed my hurt So what's it worth, what's it worth? Worth another shot of whiskey and another sip of gin Another drop of poison that is slowly sinkin' in If we're going down together better take another hit We won't be here forever so let's make the best of it Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
