Lyrics
WOULD YOU CARE
Would you care if I died tomorrow, will your hearts be filled with sorrow
You only care when I pay, my pain and suffering makes your day
Oh yeah
Hook me up and there, the truth is that you don't care
You take my money to get by; I come to you so I can get high
Oh yeah
Oh yeah, free me from this hell
Free my body and my mind, this high makes blind
I don't care what becomes of me, getting high is all I see
Oh yeah
Oh yeah, free me from this hell
My home is the street; I beg and suffer at people's feet
Will I ever see the light, well who cares I'm getting high tonight
Oh yeah
Oh yeah, free me from this hell
