Rhythm like REM — Everybody Hurts — YouTube When all life is gone by your hand and the pain is all you have When the trees you see are dead on the land All gone When life is fading fast and no one wants to try Everything will die All gone Every creature still alive They see me with their eyes They know that I’m the one They see what I have done They seem to ask me why Why me? All gone What did I need so much? I killed them with my touch I killed all that I saw Every death I thought a prize There is no way to bring them back Everything around me dies All gone

We each do our part, we can’t do it all Some people build houses, others drive trucks For some it’s a dance, for others it’s fucks Each one fills a need, they are there for a reason It is not all for greed, for all there’s a season None has more value, we are all part of a whole We each give our time, we all have a soul We all need each other, none deserve any less No one does it alone, we all made this mess You can say it’s a shame, but we all share the blame We are in line for a thumping, in a world gone insane
