Utah Phillips - All used up

^DI spent my whole life making ^Asomebody rich, I ^Gbusted my ass for that ^Ason-of-a-bitich, and he ^Dleft me to die like a ^Gdog in a ditch and ^Dtold me I'm^A all used u^Dp. He ^Gused up my labor, he ^Dused up my time, He ^Gplundered my body and ^Asquandered my mind and ^Dgave me a pension of h^Gandouts and wine and ^Dtold me I'm ^Aall used ^Dup.

My ^Dkids are in hock to a ^AGod you call work ^GSlaving their lives out for ^Asome ohter jerk My ^Dyoungest in Frisco just ^Gmade shipping clerk And he ^Ddon't know I'm ^Aall used ^Dup ^GYoung people reaching for ^Dpower and gold ^GDon't have respect for ^Aanything old For ^Dpennies they're bought and for ^Gpromises sold Some^Dday they'll ^Aall be used ^Dup

^DThey use up the oil, they ^Ause up the trees, they ^Guse up the air, and they ^Ause up the sea, Well ^Dhow about you friend and ^Ghow about me? What's ^Dleft when we're ^Aall used ^Dup? I'll ^Gfinish my life in this ^Dcrummy hotel. It's ^Glousy with bugs, and my ^AGod, what a smell! But my ^Dplumbing still works and I'm ^Gclear as a bell. Don't ^Dtell me I'm ^Aall used ^Dup!

^DOutside my window the ^Aworld passes by It ^Ggives me a handout and ^Aspits in my eye And ^Dno one can tell me 'cause ^Gno one knows why I'm ^Dlivin' but I'm ^Aall used ^Dup Some^Gtimes in my dreams I ^Dsit by a tree My ^Glife is a book of how ^Athings used to be And ^Dkids gather 'round and they ^Glistedn to me And they ^Ddon't know I'm ^Aall used ^Dup

And there's ^Gsongs and there's laughter and ^Dthings I can do, and ^Gall that I've learned I can ^Agive back to you, I'd ^Dgive my last breath just to ^Gmake it come true, ^DNo, I'm not ^Aall used^D up. They ^Guse up the oil and they ^Duse up the trees, They ^Guse up the air and they ^Ause up the sea, Well, ^Dhow about you friend, and ^Ghow about me? What's ^Dleft when we're ^Aall used ^Dup?
