[Verse 1] It’s a long way back From where I’ve fallen down It’s a very hard fall It’s a very cruel town And my dress is torn And I’ve got no jewels And I’m hungry for A life a little less cruel Some dignity Not too much sorrow Just a little bit of hope Hold out for tomorrow [Chorus] Oh I don’t care what it takes my friend I will never go hungry go hungry again Oh and I don’t care what I have to defend I will never go hungry go hungry again [Verse 2] It’s a long ride home And my head is bowed And you’re no comfort to me now And it’s fully loaded And it’s set on stone At least I know That I have won And my wig’s on crooked And I’ve got no shoes I rock back and forth And I wait for you [Chorus] Oh I don’t care what it takes my friend I will never go hungry go hungry again Oh and I don’t care what I have to pretend I will never go hungry go hungry again [Verse 3] And out of it all I have survived From the fires of hell I am alive Cynics crushed your spirit Survived this mess you’ve made Oh god can you hear us? You’re my salvation babe And it’s time for me yeah To take a stand And it’s time for me yeah To be a man [Chorus] Oh I don’t care what it takes my friend I will never go hungry go hungry again Oh and I don’t care what I have to pretend I will never go hungry go hungry again [Outro] And my phoenix she rises She is sure to descend She will never go hungry go hungry again And you’re looking to me More and more like a godsend We will never go hungry go hungry again And we owe each other nothing There’s no one left here to offend We will never go hungry go hungry again
