There's a prayer for the living and the dying There's a prayer to soothe the savage sea There's a prayer it seems for almost everything But you, you haven't got a prayer for me And I, I haven't got a prayer
So many cries in the night that you try to ignore Why didn't I do that?, why didn't I do this? So many unbroken chains, so many unsettled scores The old man at the bank that sneers The teachers and their slaps The brutal eyes, the uniforms The liars and their traps
The lonely girls who yearn to love And learn to kiss and dance The rich and selfish widows In the market for romance
The soldier with the smell of war That never fades away The heroes on the playing fields Forgotten in a day
The priest and the confession The trembling hands and whispered sighs The doctors in the hospital Unending tests and twisted lies
The betrayers, the betrayed The abandoned, the afraid The corrupted and the celebrated Endlessly humiliated Gloriously big parade
You can say a prayer for everyone That there could ever be Say a prayer for all of these and more But there's still no prayer for me
Say a prayer for your purest daughter Toll a bell for your only son
