Never Going Home
NICK ROTHSTEIN
I've lived a thousand lives
I've been a hero and a fool
I've died a thousand times
Or so they tell me on the news
And even though we tried it
We still remain divided
Another backstreet Shakespeare
Another bard at the bar
Everybody's got a story
In this tombstone trailer park
Once upon a time we dreamed
Of golden rings and pirate kings
I've lived a thousand lives
I've been a hero and a fool
I've learned a thousand things
But none of them were in school
And even though we tried it
We still remain divided
