Hole - Never Go Hungry lyrics

It’s a long way back from
Where I’ve fallen from
It’s a very hard fall, it’s a very cruel town
And my dress is torn and I’ve got no jewels
And I’m hungry for a life a little less cruel
Some dignity, not too much sorrow
Just a little bit of hope
Hold out for tomorrow

Oh, I don’t care what it takes, my friend
I will never go hungry, go hungry again
Oh, and I don’t care what I have to defend
I will never go hungry, go hungry again

It’s a long ride home and my head is bowed
And you’re no comfort to me now
And it’s fully loaded and it’s set on stun
At least I know that I have won
And my wig’s on crooked and I’ve got no shoes
I rock back and forth and I wait for you

Oh, I don’t care what it takes, my friend
I will never go hungry, go hungry again
Oh, and I don’t care what I have to pretend
I will never go hungry, go hungry again

And out of it all, I have survived
From the fires of Hell, I am alive
Sin, it crushed your spirit
Survived this mess you’ve made oh God
Can you hear us? You’re my salvation day
And it’s time for me, yeah, to take a stand
And it’s time for me, yeah, to be a man

And I don’t care what it takes, my friend
I will never go hungry, go hungry again
Oh, and I don’t care what I have to pretend
I will never go hungry, go hungry again

And the phoenix, she rises
She is sure to descend
She will never go hungry, go hungry again
And you’re looking to me more
And more like a godsend
We will never go hungry, go hungry again
And we owe each other nothing
There’s no one left here to offend
We will never go hungry, go hungry again
