Empty Glass

Pete Townshend

[Chorus 1]
Why was I born today
Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say
I never had a chance
But opportunity's now in my hands

[Chorus 2]
I stand with my guitar
All I need's a mirror
Then I'm a star
I'm so sick of dud TV
Next time you switch on
You might see me
(Oh, what a thrill for you)

[Chorus 3]
I've been there and gone there
I've lived there and bummed there
I've spinned there, I gave there
I drank there and I slaved there

[Chorus 4]
I've had enough of the way things been done
Every man on a razors edge
Someone has used us to shoot with the same gun
Killing each other then we jump off a ledge

[Chorus 5]
My life's a mess I wait for you to pass
I stand here at the bar, I hold an empty glass

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 3]

[Chorus 4]

[Chorus 5]

[Verse]
Don't worry smile and dance
You just can work life out
Don't let down moods entrance you
Take the wine and shout [x2]

[Chorus 5]
