Desperation Blues LyricsHey, what would you say
If all you love's taken away
Say it ain't so
I plant my seeds but they won't grow
Give them rope and they would hang themselves
They are driven to the throes
Of self deception, self defeat
There's nothing they wouldn't do
Every time I tried to hang myself
You were the one holding the rope
Of self deception, self defeat
There's nothing you wouldn't do
Don't lie to yourself
You wouldn't be yourself
And after all, gotta ask yourself
In this old life
It ain't no mystery
If you ain't got yourself
Who you gonna be?
Everytime I tried to hang myself
You were the one holding the rope
Of self deception, self defeat
There's nothing you wouldn't do
