helpless man - vance gilbert lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
there’s a yoke ‘round your shoulders
a ring in your nose
you’re gone with the wind
wherever it goes
helpless man, helpless man, helpless man

[verse 2]
you were once celebrated
for seeking your thrills
now you’re strapped to life’s gurney
and you’re cheeking your pills
helpless man, helpless man, helpless man

[bridge]
as you scroll down the list
of the girls that you’ve kissed
and it reads like a dime*store novella
now you’re older than dirt
and how that’s got to hurt
that your best days are now in the cellar

[verse 3]
oh you get so offended
with your chest all distended
but the rest of you
has forgotten how to fight
helpless man, helpless man, helpless man
[verse 4]
don’t sweat your arrival
in heaven sporting a halo
that’s broken and bruised
helpless man, helpless man, helpless man

[verse 5]
’cause god loves the story
of a good fall from grace
’cause on sunday it helps
fill the pews
helpless man, helpless man, helpless man

[bridge]
you were once so athletic
now you seem so pathetic
with your gut hanging over your belt
you hold card number one of
the club you made fun of
now you know how the rest of us felt

[verse 6]
oh you flew through your youth
now you’re long in the tooth
as the wax in your wings starts to melt
helpless man, helpless man, helpless man
[bridge]
now you’re trapped in the suburbs
with a lawn that needs mowing
it’s your sisyphus stone
got a hydra head going
and you’re pulling up weeds
that just never stop growing
mother nature is laughing
but your b*tt crack is showing

[verse 7]
you can rant, you can rage
you can rattle your cage
but you can’t turn a page by yourself
helpless man, helpless man
helpless man, helpless man, helpless man
