Wicked men rule the world, always have, always will
You know the sun must beat
and the river must run
and the storm must come
But is it ever done, will it ever end
Is it ever done

And I know to change we must grow
Can't do it anymore
Said I ain't got nothing left (electric guitar part below 8 times)

But I ain't got nothing
Said I ain't got nothing left
Well I could've had something
But I ain't got nothing
