What's left of me

For thirty odd years I was a newspaper man
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 than you´ll ever know
Another war was waiting for me when I got back home
In the name of the flag some 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 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?
Boarded 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 old 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 shit, it just happens more these days,
Hey, hey
I got a lot to give say can 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?
Boarded 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 hard 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 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?
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
