[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared
I'm scared, so scared
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared
As the years roll away
And the price that I paid
And the straws slip away
[Chorus]
You don't have to suffer
It is what it is
No bell book or candle
Can get you out of this, oh no!
[Verse 2]
I'm scarred, I'm scarred, I'm scarred
I'm scarred, uh huh
I'm scarred, I'm scarred, I'm scarred
Every day of my life
I just manage to survive
I just want to stay alive
[Chorus]
You don't have to worry
In heaven or hell
Just dance to the music
You do it so well, well, well!
[Bridge]
Hatred and jealousy, gonna be the death of me
I guess I knew it right from the start
Sing out about love and peace
Don't want to see the red raw meat
The green eyed goddamn straight from your heart
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired
Of being so alone
No place to call my own
Like a rollin' stone
Baby!
[Outro]
