Lyrics
Tale Of Woe
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A million sob stories, a nation of victims
Lazy pity seekers with no personal responsibility
A vicious circle, a broken system
Broken people leeching lifelines
Passing the buck, passing the blame
Don't look inside, it won't get you out
Just suck it up, just buck it up
Get some gumption and overcome
You won't lift a finger to help yourself
Why should i lift mine for you
No accountability for your situation
Your the victim - woe is you
