Benson and Hedges

One more song for the broken-hearted
A dream so true that soon departed
And was cast aside to yellow and dry up
All the people you were up above
That you worked so hard to be better than
Would you trade it for a minute of connection?

The kids are grown, the teeth are pulled
The receipts counted now there's lines across your face
It all meant nothing
So pull the door down one last time and wash your hands
You can leave this cross you bear, it all meant nothing
Walk away to burn it all down
Walk away to burn it all down

When the scissors got too dull, and you had to make a choice
Whether to fix what you'd done or start it all again
And when the light turns green on your hopes and dreams
Do you take right off or do you wait around?
It might turn red again

The kids are grown, the teeth are pulled
The receipts counted now there's lines across your face
It all meant nothing
So pull the door down one last time and wash your hands
You can leave this cross you bear, it all meant nothing
Walk away to burn it all down
Walk away to burn it all down

And now you're hanging for these ropes
And are you hopeless or well off?
So light up one more cigarette
For everything you left behind

And burn it all down
Burn it all down
Burn it all down
Just walk away to burn it all down
