lyrics

Well, I’m all alone
But I won’t bother
To find anyone
To comfort me

I ain’t got a home
Can’t afford to buy one
My lousy income
Leaves no choice to me

My aims are still strong
My dreams much stronger now
But days come and go
I’m still in here

I ain’t got a car
Would like to get one
But I couldn’t afford
To ensure it

Well, I’m unemployed
In need and silent
I am but a toy
Who got tired of playin’

I live in a street
You must have known it
I live in the street
Of lonesome fears

We’re puppets of no glory
Victims only of ourselves
No use for feeling sorry
If you can’t afford to live

Well, I just wish
Someone would heal the guilty me

I kind of enjoy
The morning blue skies
I’m not sure I like
Being free

I am but a toy
A puppet with scars
Slave and unemployed
Hail democracy
