share of the blame

nothing changes
it all remains the same
everything is ventured
nothing is gained
this life that I'm living
ain't it a shame
all I've been given
is my share of the blame

I once was a young man
I used to have dreams
each one of them died
if you know what I mean
me, I'm quite used to failure
and times are lean
I swear, I'm just trying
to be a human being

give me a reason
for singing this song
all I know is that
I don't belong
this life I been living
ain't it a shame
all I've been given
is my share of the blame
