0 Meets 15 [live] lyrics
Car broke down in Arizona. Have to ride the bus again at ten o�clock on Tuesday night with thirteen cents and a broken pen. I put my backpack on the bench, tell two people I don�t smoke. See the cop across the street, he thinks that I am selling dope.
I could have walked another block to get away from this scene. Why does it always come to this where the zero meets the fifteen?
So, I gave my thirteen cents to the man who peed his pants. He passes out and falls on me. I watch my change fall from his hand. I see the lady next to me holds her baby black and blue. The junkie gutter punk keep asking where I got my new tattoo.
What does it matter anyway, thirteen cents or all I own? How can I ever save the world on cup-o-soup and student loans?
AND I WANT TO TRY AND SAVE THE WORLD, BUT IT NEVER GOES THAT WAY. GOD, I DON�T KNOW WHAT TO DO DOWN AT COLFAX AND BROADWAY.
Now the man with no shoes on says: �I don�t know how to play.� He says: �I FUMBLE ALL THE TIME.� HE THINKS THAT I AM JOHN ELWAY. I PUT MY FACE DOWN IN MY HANDS, WATER WELLS INSIDE MY EYES. What do I have to give them? Does it matter if I try?
I can�t stand to see you suffer. I try to intellectualize a formula to end your pain. It doesn�t work. God knows I�ve tried.
�CAUSE I WANT TO TRY AND SAVE THE WORLD, BUT IT NEVER GOES THAT WAY. GOD, I DON�T KNOW WHAT TO DO DOWN AT COLFAX AND BROADWAY.
SOMETIMES MY CUP IS OVERFILLED. SOMETIMES I�M TOO AFRAID THAT I AM GOING TO SPILL.
AND I WANT TO TRY AND SAVE THE WORLD, BUT IT NEVER GOES THAT WAY. GOD, I DON�T KNOW WHAT TO DO DOWN AT COLFAX AND BROADWAY.
(talking)
Uh, this is really surreal. Yo-you know how in movies like people fake their death and then they go to their own funeral? You�d have... This is weird. Is is, we�re, they, I�m looking out and I�m seeing like all these people all-all-all the big fans from everywhere. This is so crazy. Insane. Alright, that�s it, I quit. This is, this is it. This is as good as it gets, so... How many guys have seen us on this tour? Alright, I�m sorry to announce that we didn�t change the setlist up at all �cause we�re too lazy. And a... Also, we we�re like: �Shouldn�t we make the last show? Should we change up, add some more songs, do something crazy?� But then we�re like: �No, nah, it�s for us, so we�re just gonna be lazy and then a...� I know you guys are up for it. I hope you don�t mind.
