    The last man standing in our sinister charade
    Beneath the crumbling arches of our counterfeit arcade
    He nobly knelt before us
    He sang our savior's chorus
    We left him spinning bloody plates
    Upon his broken blade
    That's just the weight of the world
    We do what we must to get by
    That's just the weight of the world
    The weak and the weary will never survive
    That's just the weight of the world
    We do what we must to stay alive
    That's just the weight of the world
    We'll all be the weak and the weary some time
    One woman whistling a wounded lullaby
    And preaching pain to every unsuspecting passerby
    We knew her well before this
    She promised portraits of us
    We cut her throat While she waiting for the paint to dry but
    That's just the weight of the world
    We do what we must to get by
    That's just the weight of the world
    The weak and the weary will never survive
    That's just the weight of the world
    We do what we must to stay alive
    That's just the weight of the world
    We'll all be the weak and the weary some time
    And in the distance we'll here melancholy moans
    The long forgotten have a habit for collecting loans but
    That's just the weight of the world
    We do what we must to get by
    That's just the weight of the world
    The weak and the weary will never survive
    That's just the weight of the world
    We do what we must to stay alive
    That's just the weight of the world
    We'll all be the weak and the weary some time

    The first time I heard this song I fell in love with it. Finally I found it. I always wanted to learn this song on piano. It will be my first piano song with lyrics. So I can practice chords and singing.
    Currently I'm learning piano by myself without even having one. I use the piano in our school. Looking forward to purchasing one.

    There couldn’t be a more relatable song. It leaves us all with the question, does anyone ever actually do anything that doesn’t benefit them somehow? Being nice feels good to YOU! Saving a life makes YOU a hero! Is it really capable for humans to be selfless? I digress. Somehow, you’ve described how the world works perfectly. You can’t worry about others, or else you’ll fall behind. You sir, are a genius.
