Its a long way back   From where Ive fallen down*   Its a very hard fall    Its a very cruel town   And my dress is torn   And I got no jewels   Im hungry for   Life a little less cruel   Some dignity   Not too much sorrow   Just a little bit of hope   Hold out for tomorrow      Oh I dont care what it takes my friend   I will never go hungry, go hungry again   Oh and I dont care what I have to defend   I will never go hungry, go hungry again      Its a long ride home   And my head is bowed   And youre no comfort to me now   And its fully loaded   And its set on stone   At least I know that I have won   And my wigs on crooked   And I got no shoes   I rock back and forth   And I wait for you      Oh I dont care what it takes my friend   I will never go hungry, go hungry again   Oh and I dont care what I have to pretend   I will never go hungry, go hungry again      Out of it all   I have survived   From the fires of hell   I am alive      Cynics crush your spirit   Survive this mess you made   Oh God can you hear us   Your my salvation babe   And its time for me yeah   To take a stand   And its time for me yeah   To be a man      And I dont care what it takes my friends   I will never go hungry, go hungry again   Oh and I dont care what I have to pretend   I will never go hungry, go hungry again      And the phoenix she rises   She is sure to descend   She will never go hungry, go hungry again   And youre lookin to me   More and more like a god send   We will never go hungry, go hungry again   And we owe each other nothin   Theres no one left here to defend   We will never go hungry, go hungry again
