"Relevance" lyrics

I could tell you about a life that went wrong
I could tell you all about it in a song
I could tell you but what would it matter
If I ain't acceptin' to climb up your ladder
What's the relevance if you don't want no love

I could sing about my sorrow in strides
I could sing about my previous wife
I could tell you I ain't good for nothin'
But what is the truth if you can't get no lovin'
What's the relevance if you don't want no love

I could sing about a life on the road
Waking up in motels with angels in robes
I could sing about the best things in life
Like an eight ball of cocaine and dim lit bar lights
What's the relevance if you can't get no love

I could sing about a boy went to war
Not before the poor boy had finished his chores
I could sing how he never came home
How his mother's still washin' the stains out his clothes but
What's the relevance if you don't want his love

I could sing about a girl in distress
Motherhood for life and a waitress 'til death
I could sing how she can't get ahead
'Cause her ambition's held by the fist of a man but
What's the relevance if you don't want her love

I could tell you about the misery and rain
I took all my joy and replaced it with pain
I could tell you about the holes in my jeans
That my soul fell right out of
Do you know what I mean but
What's the relevance if you can't get no love

I could tell you that I don't give a damn
About politics or god or your line in the sand
I could tell you I'm hurtin' inside
And all of my anger's a boy left to die but
What's the relevance if you can't get no love

What's the relevance if you can't get no love
