Sitting on the back porch, everybody be damned   Head in your hands, no particular plans   But oh, so many thoughts and dreams unheard   Words are nothing but words, words are nothing but words      See the little children rolling in the yard   And the sun goes down until it's almost dark   And hear the train cry so many miles away   Another train, another day      If you ever make your mind up   I know, you will be somebody   I know, part of you wants to be everybody   But don't be afraid to fall, fall      Mason got his, you know, that he did   He put his greedy eyes right over the lid   And oh, the bomb went off right in his face   Oh, he wears the scars with grace      But if you ever make your mind up   I know, you will be somebody   I know, part of you wants to be everybody   But don't be afraid to fall, afraid to fall, afraid      Walking past the church, you make the sign of the cross   Hey God, it wouldn't cost you anything   To throw some light my way   You see, I'm a little low on life today      A little low on life today, low on life today   Low on life today, low on life today   Lowlife, lowlife
