Burning Every Bridge

Always was the nursing kind
Put others' needs before mine
Surely no deed goes unpaid
So how come I'm left behind?

Didn't have a backup plan
Didn't have a plan
When it all came crashing down
My shit hit the fan
What I've done unto others I got back zerofold
Seems to me the golden rule is not a crock of gold

Save yourself before saving others
Safety first, by which I mean yours
Stand your ground
Ditch the invitations
Save yourself
Nothing comes around or goes around

I have learnt my lesson well
Shoulda stayed within my shell
All used up for work & play
Nothing left to give away

Every man just for himself
Every woman too
An I love you's not a You love me
& not an IOU
Walk the straight & narrow
End up in a ditch
Every man's an island
Burning every bridge

Save yourself before saving others
Safety first, by which I mean yours
Stand your ground
Ditch the invitations
Save yourself
Nothing comes around

Hand in hand we'll drag each other down
Hand in hand everybody will drown
