lyrics

I spent my whole life making somebody rich
Busted my ass for that son of a bitch
And he left me to die like a dog in a ditch
Told me I'm all used up
He used up my labor, he used up my time
He plundered my body and squandered my mind
Gave me a pension of handouts and wine
Told me I'm all used up

They use up the oil, they use up the trees
They use up the air and they use up the sea
Well how about you friend and how about me?
What's left when we're all used up
I'll finish my life in this crummy hotel
It's lousy with bugs and my God what a smell
But my plumbing still works and I'm clear as a bell
Don't tell me I'm all used up

Outside my window the world passes by
Gives me a handout and spits in my eye
And no one can tell me because no one knows why
I'm living but I'm all used up
Sometimes in my dreams I sit by a tree
My life is a book of how things used to be
Kids gather 'round and they listen to me
They don't know that I'm all used up

There's songs and there's laughter, there's things I can do
And all that I have I can give back to you
I'd give my last breath just to make it come true
No I'm not all used up
They use up the oil, they use up the trees
They use up the air and they use up the sea
Well how about you friend and how about me
What's left when we're all used up
