Nobody cares, why should they?	It's true, it's true, I know, you've really had your day

Abrasive comments from rich passers-by

You really should get a job you know, no matter if you're ninety-five

Bring a little sunshine into your life

Instead of all that driving rain

Chorus

Verse
D           A                    D
Days go on, you can't change	Not enough left of you to rearrange
D                              A               D
Drink after drink after drink, you know you stink
D                            A                 D
Build up something new, Lord, it makes me think

Chorus

Tell me why, old soldier, why?, please tell me why, somebody tell me why (ad lib)
