The way I see it you must be blind Father can you spare a dime Can't you see your son is in too deep Barely living in violent sleep Wide awake for 99 hours Go to sleep tonight He'll be pushing up flowers Second chance he'll never get He'll take it out to blazes and burn Left behind Left and right No end in sight No end in sight Left behind Left and right No end in sight No end in sight Running frantic without a clue Hitting the sand looking straight at you Nothing's straight the world goes around Now everyone's sinking they're deep in the ground Shot in the back stopped in his tracks From the shifting sands comes an unwanted ax A second chance he hasn't got It all boils down to dirt and rot Left behind Left and right No end in sight No end in sight Left behind Left and right No end in sight No end in sight So many times you couldn't bear to watch Witness the boredom, oh he thinks you've gone soft He left his mark he left you blind Chasing a dream he left sleep behind Left behind Left and right No end in sight No end in sight Left behind Left and right No end in sight No end in sight No end in sight No end in sight
