Now some of us are weak, and some endure And some people live their lives, with a violence that's pure and clean But I saw a man cry once, down on his knees In the corner of a darkened cell, and his pain meant nothing to me But I was younger then, and young men never die When I walked out in the Sun, I was strong, clear minded And blind I don't say a prayer for anyone It doesn't do any good And please don't ask me a question, you'll just be misunderstood And if you could step inside me, you'd feel what hatred brings And if you saw with my eyes You'd see what self-deception means I was younger once, and I created a lie And though my body was strong, I was self-deluded, confident And blind Now show some pity, for the weak of will Because when we're drinking, we can never be filled And show some understanding, for the lonely fool Because when l'm drinking, l'm out of control No I was never young, and nothing has transpired And when I look in the mirror, I feel dead, I feel cold I am blind
