Use/Value

Just the signature on the check is a helpful reminder that you're still alive Would you be in this position if abortion had been easier in '55? Wear your heart on your sleeve and it'll fall off in the wash Now it's in the sewer, now the river, now it's lost Now we've finally forgotten what it takes to break free If you don't hurt the one you love, you'll sure as hell Hurt the one you need. You only love what you can use When it's useful to do so But you hate it when you've got it to lose You only love what you can use When it's useful to do so But you hate it when you've got it to lose You only love what you can use When it's useful to do so But you hate it when you've got it to lose Never had to stand for anything right so they act like they can't do anything wrong Just remember that the ones who finally learn to play the game have only learned how to be clever pawns So they're staring us down from the cracks in the wall. It is peeling from the ceiling; it is sick in the hall. But when your eyes are full of dust And no tears are left to cry They'll be staring us down and they'll be asking us "why?" I know we both have been abused We've been used by someone I guess that this is what was meant... What they call love. I know we both have been abused We've been used by someone I guess that this is what was meant... What they call love. I know we both have been abused We've been used by someone I guess that this is what was meant... What they call love. How many times have we said we don't believe In love or faith or heart? But how many times have we been riddled with bullets And left holding the gun at the start?
