Verse
He had a car and a home on the Northside
Respectable neighbourhood
And all his struggling to obtain riches
Laying dead it doesn't do him much good
What does it profit a man to gain the whole world
And yet to lose his soul
What does it profit a man to love little
And not be loved at all

Chorus

Middle
G          G/BIn my life I pray
Cadd9        Em7    Dsus4I don't just follow blindly                 x2
Cadd9            Em7All the plans preset for me
    Cadd9                      Dsus4And without question become my enemy

Verse
The factory people carry on without him
Another face occupies his place
He had friends but he never really knew them
Such a shame that he went so young
Above the terraces and multi-storey car parks
He will be sitting trial
Too late to gasp out for God at his last breath
Hoping that he's got a loophole or two left

Chorus
