Lyrics:
Struggle In Vain
STRUGGLE IN VAIN
There's a voice in the distance screaming somebody's name
There's a man with his hand out trying to hide his shame
And there's a junkie swearing 'cause he dropped his spoon
Like a stray dog howling at the waning moon
I hear a couple fighting and a baby cry
I hear a siren wailing breaking up the night
Every sound's an echo of your voice in my brain
Yeah, it all reminds me how we struggle in vain
STRUGGLE IN VAIN
YEAH WE STRUGGLE IN VAIN
FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE
WE ALL STRUGGLE IN VAIN
There's a cop on the corner taking somebody in
There's a fast-talking slick stroking young girls skin
Well you can't trust no one or the things they do
Yeah now everything I see just reminds me of you
CHORUS
STRUGGLE IN VAIN
YEAH WE STRUGGLE IN VAIN
FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE
EVERYBODY STRUGGLES IN VAIN
We hold on to our better days
Hold so tight they just slip away
SOLO
It's all black and white, baby, that's what you say
But everywhere I look I see shades of grey
If we can't find love we'll find someone to blame
Honey, all we seem to do is just struggle in vain
CHORUS (REPEAT)
