Lyrics
Words Ring Empty
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.
kids still wear your band's patches
place your lyric sheets upon their walls
you conveyed such as sense of urgency
if they could only see you now
you were young and full of ideals
your words once inspired
now your commitment has faltered
what have you retained? does anything remain?
or does growing up equal selling out?
