In a daggers-drown debate, you get caught in the crossfire of words
Aimed at getting you to sing for your life though you know it's absurd
And you're limited to one glass of wine when your heart's set on thirds
And you're led to the river of sighs to get fed to the birds while children stare
Cause you're loveless and the world don't care.
Any time is the right time to go if you've finished your act
And when the camera pans the man with the gun in a suicide pact
Though you've been learning to survive with your dignity and memories intact
Cause it's easier to die in your sleep when the city's been sacked, you're over there
And you're loveless and the world don't care.

When you're naked in the sun and your neighbours start to gossip and sneer
And your sponsors want more, forgetting any more could end your career
Then some nurse who's been cursed with a grin that can stab like a spear
Tells you nothing's gonna save you from your past and you're expected to cheer for a dare
But you're loveless and the world don't care.
So you find you're a voice in the ranks of a funeral choir
And your parasite friends from the past make a dash for the wire
And your debt's long enough to be wrapped 'round an Anglican spire
Mean you're so full of hope for the future, your libido's on fire, it isn't fair
When you're loveless and the world don't care.
