lyrics

every rooftop unsteady on its studs
every rolled ankle leaning on its crutch
every old drunk stumblin backwards searchin for the wall

every palm tree doubled over in the wind
every man on the street lookin sallow and thin
every broke leg racehorse chewin on the gates of his stall

every yachtsman with a million in the bank
afloat on the sea like a flake in a tank
tyin his wrists to the wheel in the face of a squall

you cant save em all
you cant save em all
you got to choose
who you let fall
way down in the mine
behind them ivy'd walls
they're cryin but lord, dont you know
you cant save em all

every old man folded in his chair
talkin and laughin with nobody there
pressin his lips to a phone that dont nobody call

every shit car pullin back onto the road
squealin its tires and gunnin for home
leavin behind it some shit baby too new to crawl

chorus

every innocent head full of god
down on her knees, surrendered and awed
bobbin in front of the prophet that holds her in thrall

chorus
