empty glass
Why was I born today Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say I never had a chance But opportunity's now in my hands  I stand with my guitar All I need is a mirror Then I'm a star I'm so sick of dud TV Next time you switch on You might see me, oh.what a thrill for you  I've been there and gone there I've lived there and bummed there I've spun there, I gave there I drank there and I slaved there  I've had enough of the way things been done Every man on a razors edge Someone has used us to kill with the same gun Killing each other by driving a wedge  [Chorus:] My life's a mess I wait for you to pass I stand here at the bar, I hold an empty glass  Why was I born today Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say I didn't get a chance Opportunity's in my hand  I stand with my guitar All I needs a mirror Then I'm a star I'm so sick of dud TV Next time you switch on You might see me  I've been there and gone there I've lived there and bummed there I've spun there, I gave there I drank there and I slaved there  I've had enough of the way things have been done Every man on a razors edge Someone has used us to shoot with the same gun We where killing each other by driving a wedge  [Chorus]  Don't worry smile and dance You just can work life out Don't let down moods entrance you Take the wine and shout  [Chorus]
