Whats Left Of Me

For thirty hard years I was a newspaperman

I made my living with a pen and a pad

God I miss the smell of paper and the ink on my hands



Been back from the desert for a year or so

I left more in that sand then you'll ever know

Another war was waiting for me when I got back home



In the name of the flags one gave their lives

I'm still living yeah, Semper Fi

Well that's my story, what else can I say

Hey hey



I got a lot to give, say can't you see

I'm still breathing and my heart still beats

They took the car but they left the lease

Does anybody want what's left of me



Boarding up the house they left the keys

Foreclosed on my city, rolled up these streets

But I ain't checking out I still got my dreams

Does anybody want what's left of me,

Hey hey, hey hey



They called us dirty Harry, we're a punk rock band

Why they sold those CBGB's I don't understand

All that's left now are the t-shirts and they come from Japan



I sold my drums to make ends meet

The band broke up, we had to eat

It's the same old sh*t, it just happens more these days,

Hey hey



I got a lot to give, say can't you see

I'm still breathing and my heart still beats

They took the car but they left the lease

Does anybody want what's left of me



Boarding up the house they left the keys

Foreclosed on my city, rolled up these streets

But I ain't checking out I still got my dreams

Does anybody want what's left of me,

Hey hey, hey hey



I'm a teacher, I'm a farmer, I'm a union man

It's getting harder to make a living in this hard land

We ain't working in our factories, all those jobs went overseas



Hey hey



Does anybody want, does anybody want

Does anybody want what's left of me



I got a lot to give, say can't you see

I'm still breathing and my heart still beats

They took the car but they left the lease

Does anybody want what's left of me

Does anybody want to buy or rent

Take a chance or place a bet

I ain't checking out, I still got my dreams

Does anybody want what's left of me

Hey hey, hey hey



Does anybody want, does anybody want

Does anybody want what's left of me

Hey hey, hey hey



Does anybody want, does anybody want

Does anybody want what's left of me
