[Verse 1]
This song is sung for anyone that's listening
This song is for the broken-spirited man
This song is for anyone left standing
After the strain of a slow, sad end

[Verse 2]
It seems everybody wants what someone else has
There's sorrow enough for all, just go in any bar and ask
With a beer in each hand and a smile in between
All around's a world grown mean

[Pre-Chorus 1]
We've all had our ups and downs
It's been mostly down around here
Now this whole damn mess
Is becoming quite clear

[Chorus]
Looks like we're all looking for
A life worth livin'
That's why we drink ourselves to sleep
Yeah, we're all looking for
A life worth livin'
That's why we pray
For our souls to keep
Ah
[Verse 3]
There's nothing left now but broken pieces
Of one man's broken will to care
And in the end, before all's said and done
How many others might follow him there?

[Verse 1]
This song is sung for anyone that's listening
This song is for the broken-spirited man
And this song is for anyone left standing
After the strain of a slow, sad end

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Midnight is comin' 'round
Still mostly down around here
Now this whole damn mess
Is becoming quite clear

[Chorus]
Looks like we're all looking for
A life worth livin'
That's why we drink ourselves to sleep
Yeah, we're all looking for
A life worth livin'
That's why we pray
For our souls to keep
