No Return
Madball Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm tired of people taking with no return
Never giving back when it was my turn
I'm done giving charity so leave me be
I have nothing to offer and no one to feed
Only myself I'm the one in need
Forced to live this way because of your greed

Line by Line Meaning

I'm tired of people taking with no return
I'm exhausted of individuals benefiting from me without reciprocation

Never giving back when it was my turn
They never give back when it's their chance to return the favor

I'm done giving charity so leave me be
I don't want to give any more aid or support; please let me be

I have nothing to offer and no one to feed
I have nothing to give and nobody to care for

Only myself I'm the one in need
I'm the only one who requires assistance

Forced to live this way because of your greed
I'm compelled to exist in this manner due to your selfishness
