You Can’t Save Everybody
by
Kieran Kane
Sean Locke
No shadow did he cast
Clock on the wall
No hands at all
No present, no future, no past
Chorus:
You can’t save everybody
No word, no deed, no praise
You can’t save everybody
Everybody don’t want to be saved
Old headstones, old buried bones
Just laying 'round cemetery deep
I’m burning matches
For the sake of making ashes
Just trying to get some sleep
Chorus
(Instrumental break)
Poetry pages filled through the ages
With words that don’t make no sense
Quart of beer in a brown paper sack
Two dollars away from the rent
Chorus
Kieran Kane: lead vocal, 5 string banjo, subsonic drum
Kevin Welch: octave mandolin, harmony vocal
Fats Kaplin: dan electro guitar
