lyrics

Mary, you once had a baby
He said he would save me, but look what he’s done
The tale goes, he’d bring us a new hope
But he left me in limbo, all nervous and numb

He told us, if we drank holy water
Every liar’s his daughter, every killer’s his son
But softening the cornerstone of that offering
The threat of hell that was hovering, while he fingered his gun

When nobody cares, alone in the dark
The light of the world is losing his spark
And how can we know how brightly he burned
The land has been cleared, the lesson unlearned

So I brought my thoughts to them
To my faithful friends, true American soil
And they confirmed everything
When they let me hang alone in my toil

When nobody cares at all, a diamond left in the rough
The rapture will never come for highwaymen on the run
One golden eyed afternoon, you stood shimmering in the sun
We should have known all along, that nobody cares at all
