[Verse 1]

I've lost all the time that I have in this world

I've spent it unwisely, unwisely, you see

And I can't get it back and I can't move forward

I'm broken and I'm empty, it's over for me


[Chorus]

If I could undo all the wrongs that I've caused

Fall to my knees, pray for swiftness and just

For I'm just a fool, a fool driven to dust

And the world ain't gonna change for me


[Verse 2]

So give me one more chance to prove these problems and frustrations

Aren't just manifest in memories we're destined to repeat

A second chance to prove I know right from wrong

I swear I'll do things different but can't promise to be strong


[Chorus]

So come all you losers, you bastards and cheats

Vagrants and barflies down on the street

Follow this path to salvation, vindication awaits

We're marching on East Broadway street tonight


[Verse 3]

If you could look into this old face and try to see the young man

I swear I once was pretty, not the monster you now see

But I squandered all my chances, lost my faith and took for granted

This life and precious one chance, the whirlwind I'll wreak


[Chorus]

If I could undo all the wrongs that I've caused

Fall to my knees, pray for swiftness and just

For I'm just a fool, a fool driven to dust

And the world ain't gonna change for me


[Chorus]

So come all you losers, you bastards and cheats

Vagrants and barflies down on the street

Follow this path to salvation, vindication awaits

We're marching on East Broadway street tonight


[Chorus]

So come all you losers, you bastards and cheats

Vagrants and barflies down on the street

Follow this path to salvation, vindication awaits

We're marching on East Broadway street tonight
