Part 3
Hard to get by on your own ne - ver - a- lone
The rest follows this pattern- here are the rest of the lyrics associated to the guitar part as labeled above:
(Part 1)
Life of regret
Each drink and each cigarette
leads to life of regret
(Part 2)
So go out, make your amends
Plant you a garden, get you some friends
(Part 3)
Trouble's still just what you get
In this life of regret
(Part 1)
Chosen by god
Whether you like it or now, you've been chosen by god
(Part 2)
So stand there, curse at the clouds
You know the answer, so scream it out loud
(Part 3)
Never no useless old slob
Never asleep on the job
Never forget what you're not
You've been chosen by god
(Part 1)
But you're nobody's fool
That's the one thing they don't teach in school
You ain't nobody's fool
(Part 2)
So don't worry, you'll turn out fine
Better off dead than waitin in line
(Part 3)
Stick to that golden old rule
You ain't NOBODY'S FOOL
