[Verse 1]
Born on the bayou, down in the dumps
The dark side of nowhere, taking your lumps
And no education much to speak of
And nothing to live for when push comes to shove
You dial the wrong number and they put you on hold
But somebody loves you or so we've been told

[Verse 2]
There's lead in the water, knees on your neck
The son of your father, born to neglect
You mind your own business, siren gon' wail
Make one false move, brother, you'll wind up dead or in jail
It's been four hundred years now, right down to the day
But somebody loves you, least that's what they say

[Guitar Solo]
Yeah

[Verse 3]
Buildings may crumble and mountains may fall
Civilization, the cause of it all
Wars and tornadoes, famine and blight
The temperature's rising with no end in sight
There's no need to worry, you've got nothing to fear
'Cause somebody loves you, soon he's gonna be here
[Verse 4]
Somebody loves you, I'm gonna say it again
No matter how hopeless the trouble you're in
They made you a promise, for whatever it's worth
You too shall inherit what's left of the earth
It was long ago written down in so many words
Somebody loves you or haven't you heard?

[Outro]
Somebody loves you
