Story behind the song
young man
on your own
17
ain't got a home
feeling tired
feeling old
it's desperate, feels desperate
young man
scrounging cigerettes
off the ground, up to your lips
smokin' stubbs, from a can
scrapin bowls, whatever man
to get a hit,
feels desperate
prechorus:
where's that eye on the sparrow
where's that ear to the ground
there's a heavy rain a' fallen
through a black thunder cloud
chorus
feels desperate, so desperate
feels desperate
verse:
young man
need someone to hold
17
and on the road
sleep in parks
thumbing cars
stealing food
aint' gettin' far
feels desperate, yeah desperate
prechrous, & chorus
Verse
the storm will pass
the pain will crawl
young man
can take the fall
rise again
clothed in phoenix skin
i know it's desperate
feels desperate
2nd prechorus (x's 2)
there's an eye on the sparrow
there's an ear to the ground
though a heavy rain is falling
through a black thunder cloud
chorus:
i know it's desperate, feels desperate....
