You Can't Save Everybody

Old dirty dog walking down the street No shadow did he cast Clock on the wall No hands at all No present, no future, no past [Chorus] You can't save everybody No word, no deed, no praise You can't save everybody Everybody don't want to be saved Old headstones, old buried bones Just laying 'round cemetery deep I'm burning matches For the sake of making ashes Just trying to get some sleep [Chorus] Poetry pages filled through the ages With words that don't make no sense Quart of beer in a brown paper sack Two dollars away from the rent [Chorus]
