Never even knew you   But I heard your note today   You talk about injustice   And how we look the other way      I knew full well your meaning   But my world just moves too fast   It's a shame about your future   It's a crime about your past      Was there no one who could save you   From the prison of each breath   Like Rapunzel in her tower   Isolation equals death      Was there no one who could rescue you   From the prison of your pain   Am I tougher or just lucky   Our fate didn't end the same      But my heart has run on empty   Since I heard the fuckin' news   We're a heartless, godless culture   We'd walk nowhere in your shoes      For me it's six-thirty in the morning   And my mood's as black as rain   I am thirty light years older   But I understand your pain      They all hate you 'cause you left them here   To struggle on their own   I'm just sorry you had no choice   'Til death chilled you to the bone      But my heart has run on empty   Since I heard the fuckin' news   We're a heartless, godless culture   We'd walk nowhere in your shoes      Well the good news, if there's any   Is you ever lived at all   But our country kills its heroes   We just raise them for the fall      Raise them for the fall   Oh we raise them for the fall   For the fall, oh we raise them for the fall   Raise them for the fall
