For thirty odd years
I was a newspaper man
I made my living with
a pen and a pad
God I miss the smell of
paper and the ink on my hands
Been back from the
desert for a year or so
I left more in that sand
than you'll ever know
Another war was waiting
for me when I got back home
In the name of the flag
some gave their lives
I'm still living
yeah
Semper Fi
Well
that's my story
what else can I say
Hey
hey
I got a lot to give say
can you see
I'm still breathing and
my heart still beats
They took the car
but they left the lease
Does anybody want
what's left of me
Boarded up the house
they left the keys
Fore closed on my city
rolled up these streets
But I ain't checking out
I still got my dreams
Does anybody want
what's left of me
Hey
hey
hey
hey
They called us
Dirty Harry
we're a punk rock band
Why they sold old CBGB's
I don't understand
All that’s left now are the t shirts
and they come from Japan
I sold my drums
to make ends meet
The band broke up
we had to eat
It's the same old shit
it just happens more these days
Hey
hey
I got a lot to give
say can you see
I'm still breathing
and my heart still beats
They took the car
but they left the lease
Does anybody want
what's left of me
Boarded up the house
they left the keys
Fore closed on my city
rolled up these streets
But I ain't checking out
I still got my dreams
Does anybody want
what's left of me
Hey
hey
hey
hey
I'm a teacher
I'm a farmer
I'm a union man
It's getting hard to make a
living in this hard land
We ain't working in our factories
all those jobs went overseas
Hey
hey
Does anybody want
does anybody want
Does anybody want
what's left of me
I got a lot to give
say can you see
I'm still breathing and
my heart still beats
They took the car
but they left the lease
Does anybody want
what's left of me
Does anybody want
to buy or rent
Take a chance or place a bet
I ain't checking out
I still got my dreams
Does anybody want
what's left of me
Hey
hey
hey
hey
Does anybody want
does anybody want
Does anybody want
what's left of me
Hey
hey
hey
hey
Does anybody want
does anybody want
Does anybody want
what's left of me
