Zed Desperation Blues song lyrics

Hey what would you say

If all you love's taken away

Say it ain't so

I plant my seeds but they won't grow

Give them rope and they would hang themselves

They are driven to the throes

Of self deception, self defeat

There's nothing they wouldn't do

Every time I tried to hang myself

You were the one holding the rope

Of self deception, self defeat

There's nothing you wouldn't do

Don't lie to yourself

You wouldn't be yourself

And after all, gotta ask yourself

In this old life

It ain't no mystery

If you ain't got yourself

Who you gonna be?

Everytime I tried to hang myself

You were the one holding the rope

Of self deception, self defeat

There's nothing you wouldn't do
