We, the people, fight for our existence We don't claim to be perfect but we're free We dream our dreams alone with no resistance Fading like the stars we wish to be You know I didn't mean What I just said But my God woke up on the wrong side of his bed And it just don't matter now 'Cause little by little We gave you everything you ever dreamed of Little by little The wheels of your life have slowly fallen off Little by little You have to give it all in all your life And all the time, I just ask myself why you're really here True perfection has to be imperfect I know that that sounds foolish but it's true The day has come and now you'll have to accept The life inside your head we give to you You know I didn't mean What I just said But my God woke up on the wrong side of his bed And it just don't matter now 'Cause little by little We gave you everything you ever dreamed of Little by little The wheels of your life have slowly fallen off Little by little You have to give it all in all your life And all the time, I just ask myself why you're really here Hey Little by little We gave you everything you ever dreamed of Little by little The wheels of your life have slowly fallen off Little by little You had to give it all in all your life And all the time, I just ask myself why you're really here Why am I really here? Why am I really here?

Baby, out all night Until the break of day Snap me up in everything I say Little by little Only you know that I can see Bit by bit Your love is slipping away from me What you're doing, baby You know it ain't right I wonder what you're doing That takes all night Little by little Only you know that I can see Bit by bit Your love is slipping away from me Get so disgusted When I try to kiss you I just don't feel Like I used to do Little by little Only you know that I can see Bit by bit Your love is slipping away from me Tried to trail you last night Baby, in my car But I'm scared I might see What I'm looking for Little by little Only you know that I can see Bit by bit Your love is slipping away from me

Don't turn nasty now, the dust of hell, the pillar of my soul The last one out of the box, the one who broke the spell Little by little by hook or by crook I'm such a tease and you're such a flirt Once you've been around, you've been around enough Little by little by hook or by crook Never in earnest, never get judged I don't know where it is, I should look The glue won't hold, the thread un-pull, uncurling with my love The last one out of the box, the one who broke the seal Obligations, complications Routines and schedules, A drug that will kill you, kill you Little by little by hook or by crook Never in earnest, never get judged I'm no idiot, I should look Little by little by hook or by crook I'm such a tease and you're such a flirt

Hey, mama, when you leave Don't leave a thing behind I don't want nothin' I can't use nothin' Take care into the hall And if you see my friends Tell them I'm fine Not using nothin' Almost burned out my eyes Threw my ears down to the floor I didn't see nothin' I didn't hear nothin' I stood there like a block of stone Knowin' all I had to know And nothin' more Man, that's nothin' Being born is goin' blind And bowin' down a thousand times To echoes strung On pure temptation Sorrow and solitude These are the precious things And the only words That are worth rememberin' Hey, mama, when you leave Don't leave a thing behind I don't want nothin' I can't, I can't use nothin' Oh I can't use nothin'
