 "I think they're losing more momentum every day

 they're trying 3% percent too hard, can't you see the look there on his

face?

 I think they'll do okay for now

 and in a year throw in the towel

 but they're losing their momentum every day"

(VERSE)

 "they won't be doing this much longer without pay

 and when it all comes crashing down, oh I can't wait to see the day

 we can say we told 'em so

 they're just a little bit too old

 and they can head home, head in hand like a disgrace"

(CHORUS)

 do I regret I even wasted the breath it took to sing?

 do I regret I ever admitted to a little and bled it all out on the page?

do we regret they're out there waiting?

 for someone honest to take the stage?

 will they want their ten bucks back

 or leave knowing that this means more than anyone could pay?

 it's all just as well

 the ones that can tell

 know we're here to play

Mother won't you hear my desperate cries, I'm coming in

Mother won't you hear my desperate crying
