It's world epidemic
And the whole is in it
I lost a brother to AIDS
Still he laughed every day
I see the door but I'm not going in
A taste of gin and a little sip
Is all that I can afford
I won't do no more

Oh well...

Why is everything going fast
Afraid my heart is built to last
A shortness of breath is really frightening
I feel myself but I need to feel love
There's too many people walking behind me
I need you beside me, please come and find me
It's been so cold that life could blind me
God help me define me

Oh well...
Oh well...
Oh well...

Oh well...
Oh well...
Oh well...
