I Love You, You Bastard

I'm sad for those whose eyes are closed

Can't see further than the end of the nose

Always caught, it seems to me,

Between the devil and the deep blue sea

And always something bars the way

Oh you know that it's true

Forced to throw our dreams away

They never come true anyway

Well sometimes they do

Some dreams can

Some dreams do

And you can try

Sacrifice

Still friendships die

Can't justify

The sea of tears that I've cried

To the cannabis kid

It's really not important at all

No no no no

I'm sad for those whose hearts are froze

With every passing day his misery grows

Always caught, it seems to me,

Between sex and slavery

And like the fools who fail to see

From the top of the pole

And sway between the boring scene

And a fear of the dole

It was hard, hard loving you

It's a hard, hard thing to do

But it's a crime

To murder time

You save yours

I'll save mine

I can't stay around

And watch my love for you drown

While all those clowns

Slowly drag us down

I know life's joys so hopelessly few you know that you were

To mention someone special

I know life's joys so hopelessly few don't you know that you are

Somebody special

And now we all helplessly viewing the tension

I know life's joys so pitifully few

You cannot learn

The secrets I have learned

You're much too cool

There's no return

When mad jack starts to burn

His way through you

And he will

He will

You don't own me

I don't own you

You don't owe me

I don't owe you
