Another song taken from the All Roads Lead to Rome sessions. Joe write some great lyrics for this one as well and has some great guitar parts.

lyrics

Another passer by, another spinning cheek,
Another arrow through my heart. 
Just walk on by and leave me by the road
Like I'm some kind of pavement art. 
What is going on in this world today? Less and less can give a shit. 
Yeah fend for yourselves by all means but pull my face from off the grit.

All our beds are made by these erudite brains,
 By suits they douse in liquid insane.
 They spew our tears down executive drains,
 And adorn us with false praise and disdain.

We need what we want and want what we need
And no one's getting in our way. 
We're sorry for your pain, we're sorry for your plight
But not enough to make your day.
 One less voice to hear, one less voice to count
When they made you walk the plank.
 If our pity helped in any way, you'd be dancing to the bank.

All our beds are made by these erudite brains, 
By suits they douse in liquid insane. 
They spew our tears down executive drains, 
And adorn us with false praise and disdain.

We grieve with you, but we're not gonna help you, you're too far gone. 
We bleed with you, but not as much as you do, you're too far wrong.

We just don't have the infinite time
To wrap you up on this bitter night. 
Some may swim with you in your grime
But it's not fair and it's not right. 

 We raise money for a charity that's not even a charity.

What is going on in this world today? Less and less can give a shit. 
Yeah fend for yourselves by all means but pull my face from off the grit.

All our beds are made by these erudite brains, 
By suits they douse in liquid insane.
 They spew our tears down executive drains
 And adorn us with false praise and disdain.
