"Lost Cause" lyrics
That's right, we all get left behind
It's just a fact
Maybe that's why people have guns
Won't help though, just a fact
Jessie was a good girl
Went to a good school
Her daddy's little pride and joy
Up until she reached twelve
She never rebelled
And then she went and met a boy
Now, he was never good for her
About six years older
Parents thought it was a phase
Started calling on God
By the time that they tried
It was just too late
Better off giving up, did not change enough
Nothing but trouble flowing in her blood
Just can't stay away, addicted to the pain
Would do anything to touch the flame
She was a lost cause
She was just too far gone, gone
Now there's no turning back
Our little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong
She was a lost cause
She was just too far gone, gone
Now there's no turning back
Our little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong
Now, by the age of sixteen
Couldn't tell her a thing
Cause Jessie seemed to know it all (Aw)
She was helping her boyfriend
Cook up some methadrine
And got in trouble with the law (Aw)
Now everybody knew
That she wasn't that bad
But it was either her or him
They set her up and she lied
The judge gave her three-to-five
And Jessie ended up inside
Better off giving up, did not change enough
Nothing but trouble flowing in her blood
Just can't stay away, addicted to the pain
Would do anything to touch the flame
She was a lost cause
She was just too far gone, gone
Now there's no turning back
Our little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong
She was a lost cause
She was just too far gone, gone
Now there's no turning back
Our little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong
Daddy's girl done gone the wrong way
And there ain't nothing you can do to change it
Daddy's girl done gone the wrong way
And there ain't nothing you can do to change
Better off giving up, did not change enough
Nothing but trouble flowing in her blood
Just can't stay away, addicted to the pain
Would do anything to touch the flame
She was a lost cause
She was just too far gone, gone
Now there's no turning back
Our little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong
She was a lost cause
(Daddy's girl done gone the wrong way)
She was just too far gone, gone
Now there's no turning back
(And there ain't nothing you can do to change)
Our little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong
It's just a fact
Maybe that's why people have guns
Won't help though, just a fact
Jessie was a good girl
Went to a good school
Her daddy's little pride and joy
Up until she reached twelve
She never rebelled
And then she went and met a boy
Now, he was never good for her
About six years older
Parents thought it was a phase
Started calling on God
By the time that they tried
It was just too late
Better off giving up, did not change enough
Nothing but trouble flowing in her blood
Just can't stay away, addicted to the pain
Would do anything to touch the flame
She was a lost cause
She was just too far gone, gone
Now there's no turning back
Our little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong
She was a lost cause
She was just too far gone, gone
Now there's no turning back
Our little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong
Now, by the age of sixteen
Couldn't tell her a thing

Our little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong
