Bastards On Parade Songtext / Lyric

I've lost all the time that I have in this world

I've spent it unwisely, unwisely you see

And I can't get it back and I can't move forward

I'm broken and I'm empty, it's over for me

If I could undo all the wrongs that I've caused

Fall to my knees, pray for swiftness and just

For I'm just a fool, a fool driven to dust

And the world ain't gonna change for me



So give me one more chance to prove these problems and frustrations

Aren't just manifest in memories we're destined to repeat

A second chance to prove I know right from wrong

I swear I'll do things different but can't promise to be strong






(chorus)

So come all you losers, you bastards and cheats

Vagrants and barflies down on the street

Follow this path to salvation, vindication awaits

We're marching on East Broadway street tonight



If you could look into this old face and try to see the young man

I swear I once was pretty, not the monster you now see

But I squandered all my chances, lost my faith and took for granted

This life and precious one chance, the whirlwind I'll wreak



If I could undo all the wrongs that I've caused

Fall to my knees, pray for swiftness and just

For I'm just a fool, a fool driven to dust

And the world ain't gonna change for me



(chorus)

So come all you losers, you bastards and cheats

Vagrants and barflies down on the street

Follow this path to salvation, vindication awaits

We're marching on East Broadway street tonight
