Long Lost Cause
I used to march with righteous anger, I used to live with no tethered rope,
I used to sing with a preacher's passion, I carried the flame of eternal hope,
I used to believe all dreams came true I waited by the chimney for Santa Claus
I ain't gonna waste more time believing I'm not gonna fight for a long lost cause
I've got an itch in my pocket I can't rest when the sun goes down
I'm always moving always looking blowing the joint to another town
I wrestle nightmares every time I sleep ripping my mind with iron claws
I'm not gonna worry about those dreams, I ain't gonna fight for a long lost cause
I was a slave to optimism People said I was always nice
I was a cheerleader to compassion I never took my own advice
I wasted countless chances to be the man who took everything he saw
I'm not gonna waste my time regretting, I ain't gonna fight for a long lost cause
Baby when I told you I was faithful I never calculated what I'd lose
I should have taken all my chances I should have chosen what I could choose
I should have reached for the golden ring I should have broken all the laws
I'm not gonna worry about those things and I ain't gonna fight for a long lost cause
I ain't gonna sing no songs of savior for once in my life I won't care
Don't have any sacred verses waiting I'm gonna shut my mouth and vanish in the air
I won't waste time on self improvement I'll be happy with all my flaws
I ain't gonna sing no more anthems I ain't gonna fight for a long lost cause
Tonight I'm taking to the highway gonna drive until I'm lost to time
Gonna disappear into the prairie to dance a nomad pantomime
Gonna warm my body near the fire of a hobo camp outside of Wichita
I'll forget everything I knew I ain't gonna fight for a long lost cause
I'll vanish in the desert neath a sky of blue before I'll ever fight for a long lost cause
I used to sing with a preacher's passion, I carried the flame of eternal hope,
I used to believe all dreams came true I waited by the chimney for Santa Claus
I ain't gonna waste more time believing I'm not gonna fight for a long lost cause
I've got an itch in my pocket I can't rest when the sun goes down
I'm always moving always looking blowing the joint to another town
I wrestle nightmares every time I sleep ripping my mind with iron claws
I'm not gonna worry about those dreams, I ain't gonna fight for a long lost cause
I was a slave to optimism People said I was always nice
I was a cheerleader to compassion I never took my own advice
I wasted countless chances to be the man who took everything he saw
I'm not gonna waste my time regretting, I ain't gonna fight for a long lost cause
Baby when I told you I was faithful I never calculated what I'd lose
I should have taken all my chances I should have chosen what I could choose
I should have reached for the golden ring I should have broken all the laws
I'm not gonna worry about those things and I ain't gonna fight for a long lost cause
I ain't gonna sing no songs of savior for once in my life I won't care
Don't have any sacred verses waiting I'm gonna shut my mouth and vanish in the air
I won't waste time on self improvement I'll be happy with all my flaws
I ain't gonna sing no more anthems I ain't gonna fight for a long lost cause
Tonight I'm taking to the highway gonna drive until I'm lost to time
Gonna disappear into the prairie to dance a nomad pantomime
Gonna warm my body near the fire of a hobo camp outside of Wichita
I'll forget everything I knew I ain't gonna fight for a long lost cause
I'll vanish in the desert neath a sky of blue before I'll ever fight for a long lost cause
