lyrics

The wretched and the righteous
The pushers and the pious
No one is forsaken in the end

The tycoons and the poor
The sweetheart and the whore
No one is forsaken in the end

There must be a place where they walk together
Where all's forgiven, every man your brother
Be it the straight and narrow or the primrose path
We all fall short of the promised land

The politicians and the preachers
The loudmouth in the bleachers
No one is forsaken in the end

The drunkard stumbling home
The orphan all alone
No one is forsaken in the end

(Chorus)

The wretched and the righteous
The pushers and the pious
No one is forsaken in the end

Not Caesar or Brutus
Not even Jesus and Judas
No one is forsaken in the end

(Chorus)
