These Days by Bon Jovi

I was walking around, just a (1)________ in the crowd
Trying to keep myself out of the rain
Saw a vagabond king wear a Styrofoam crown
Wondered if I might end up the same
There's a man out on the corner
Singing old songs about change
Everybody's got (2)__________ cross to bare, these days
She came looking for some shelter
With a suitcase full of dreams
To a motel room on the boulevard
I (3)__________ she's trying to be James Dean
She's seen all the disciples
And all the (4)__________ be's
No one wants to be themselves these days

(Yeah)
But these days there ain't a ladder on these streets
(Oh no, no, no)
These days are fast
Love don't lasts
There ain't no time to waste
There ain't nobody left to take the blame
(Oh no, no, no)
There ain't nobody left but us these days

There ain't nobody left but us these days
