Damaged Goods Lyrics

Oh, lonesome baby who pulled the wool over your eyes?

How did you think going crazy was gonna make the whole world realize?

Oh, lonesome baby who's god gave you the given right?

To take everyone down with you into your dark night

Libby was a pretty one, you might say a bit of a flirt

She loved the way she could make things happen

With a simple twirl of her skirt

Fell so easily into the spiral

Where the dollars couldn't wipe off the dirt

And when she rolled herself off the cliff that day

She freed herself from the abyss that plagued her

But she'll never be free from causing so much hurt?

Kyley loved his guns, played with 'em all day

He loved the way he could make things happen

From a hundred yards away

Turned superhero at a protest march

Slung tough in his AR taking charge

But things got weird in his head

Got the idea his life was hanging by a thread

And in self-defence he shot innocent people dead

Just a case of damaged goods: was it mum or was it dad?

What else can they do; it's the only life they have

Does it ever occur to them that they might just be a little bit mad?

Or are they another example of where damaged goods go bad, so sad

Were you a lonesome baby?

Now Georgey was a one, the college go-to fun guy

He loved the way he could make things happen

With a simple trick or a lie

Made it to number one where he wouldn't be denied

Took us all into the burning sun

Rah, rah, kill 'em all every mother's son

And a million lives all gone

These misfits are part of everyday. We pass them on the street

Where they are and where they go depends on what they meet

It's not that they need saving; it's not that they need help

It's just that they need people; sometimes just someone else

Maybe they're just relying too much upon themselves

So many cases of damaged goods; was it mum or was it dad?

What else could they do? It was the only life they had

Did they ever stop to wonder what they were doing was quite mad?

Or are they just more examples of where damaged goods go bad, so sad
