Nathan gets up in the morning   But what is it all for   Drinks his cup of coffee   Then heads for the door      Gets to work to hear the stories   What happened late last night   People wearing faces   Living plastic lives      [chorus]   But who's gonna be there   To make sure that he lives   Well who's gonna care   If he gets what he gives   Nathan's alone      Nathan drives home in the evening   To his house in the hills   Eats another TV dinner   Tries not to think about the pills      And all his friends have left him high and dry   And all his family's moved away   Now he sits and asks God why   He has to live this way      [chorus]      Yeah, who's gonna be there   Be there when he cries   Yeah, who's gonna care   Care when he dies      Nathan looks all around   There's no one to be found   He feels so lonely now   Wondering how   He ever drifted so far away   But things will be better after today   He says      [chorus]      Yeah, who's gonna be there   Be there when he cries tonight   And who's gonna care   Whether he lives or dies tonight
