Hour of Need

Put your hand in to test the water
Looks like you're going under
Claw your way up the social ladder
You passed out in front of the Pastor
You found yourself with some brand new money
Too bad you pawned your childhood memories
You made arrangements with the local bartender
The words betrayed were illegal tender
You found your favorite sin
Was not as simple as it once had been
How low you'll go in your hour of need
Now the rules won't always bend
There seems to be no end
To what you'll do in your hour of need
You fall down someone picks you up
They shoulda left you where you sell your stuff
You fell in with the trendy artists
Till they discovered you were this year's novice
They say your little gem
Is not as precious as it once had been
The scars appear above the pain
I guess your little toy
Was passed around by a few of the boys
What's left to lose in this hour of need
A nightly guest at the Hotel Florence
And now you sleep with anyone low-rent
To finally drink from expensive glassware
Only to turn around and then pass out there
You found your favorite sin
Was not as simple as it once had been
How low you'll go in your hour of need
Though the rules won't always bend
There seems to be no end
To what you'll do in your hour of need
No the rules won't always bend
There seems to be no end
To who you'll do in your hour of need
