Tears For Diamonds

He crossed the street he knew so well
 Got lost there every day
 Cursed his work, cried in shame
 And was really glad it rained
 Let's trade our tears for diamonds
 Trade our tears for diamonds
 Stepping in the day was long
 Much longer than the time
 No one around here gave a damn
 Not even just a dime
 So let's trade our tears for diamonds
 Let's trade our tears for diamonds
 On and on it goes and goes
 On and on
 Sorry, he never seems to cut it
 He's poor as fuck and he still deserves
 A statue so they say
 He took good care of wife and kids
 But they left him anyway
 Let's trade his tears for diamonds
 Let's trade his tears for diamonds
 On and on it goes and goes
 On and on
 Sorry, he never seems to cut it
 To cut it
 We change the things we used to love
 Until they make us hate
 We can dress up on the outside
 But inside there's just no way
 Let's trade our tears for diamonds
 Let's trade our tears for diamonds
 On and on it goes and goes
 On and on
 Sorry, he never seems to cut it
