Text: Chris Cornell. Lost Cause.

That's right
We all get left behind
That's just a fact
Maybe that's why people have guns
Won't help though
Just a fact

(Verse)

Jesse was a good girl
Went to a good school
Her daddy's little pride and joy
Up until she reached twelve
She never rebelled
And then she went and met a boy
Now he was never good for her
About six years older
Parents thought it was a phase
(Can't make out this line)
By the time that they tried
It was just too late

(Chorus)

Better off giving up
Did not change enough
Nothing but trouble
Flowing in the blood
Just won't stay away
Addicted to the pain
Would do anything to touch the flame

She was a lost cause
She was just too far gone (gone)
Now there's no turning back our
Little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong

She was a lost cause
She was just too far gone (gone)
Now there's no turning back our
Little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong

(Verse 2)

Now by the age of sixteen
Couldn't tell her a thing
Cause Jesse seemed to know it all
She was helpin her boyfriend
Cook up some methodrone
And got in in trouble with the law
Now, now everybody knew
That she wasn't that bad
But it was either her or him

They set her up and she lied
The judge gave her three to five
And Jesse ended up inside

(Chorus)

Better off giving up
Did not change enough
Nothing but trouble
Flowing in the blood
Just won't stay away
Addicted to the pain
Would do anything to touch the flame

She was a lost cause
She was just too far gone (gone)
Now there's no turning back our
Little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong

She was a lost cause
She was just too far gone (gone)
Now there's no turning back our
Little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong

(Bridge?)

Daddy's girl done gone the wrong way
And there ain't nothing you can do to change it
Daddy's girl done gone the wrong way
And there ain't nothing you can do to change it

(Chorus)

Better off giving up
Did not change enough
Nothing but trouble
Flowing in the blood
Just won't stay away
Addicted to the pain
Would do anything to touch the flame

She was a lost cause
She was just too far gone (gone)
Now there's no turning back our
Little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong

She was a lost cause [Daddy's girl done gone the wrong way]
She was just too far gone (gone)
Now there's no turning back our [And there ain't nothing you can do to change it]
Little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong
