If neither of these are correct, do you have any lyric snippets at all? Or other info?

Whatever became of Me
I've been thinking
Can't think any more
Keep on sinking down
Right into the floor
What a sorry figure I turned out to be
Whatever became of me

Hard to realize
Time is almost done
I never pleased myself
I can't please everyone
So won't you say hello if you should chance to see
Whatever became of me

You call it sink or swim
I'm drowning in the flood
All I can do is fight
This poison in my blood
Has anybody seen the man I meant to be
Whatever became of me

All that I know is that I don't know anything
All I remember is you stole everything
All I believe is that nothing is true
But I know I never want to be like you

Now the time has come
Nothing left to do
And no point in anything
I give to you
So won't you take my hand and watch me as I bleed
Whatever became of me

(But I don't think this is it)

Also found this:

Honoured Lord and King, You know the bloody story,
On Monday we only ate little, on Tuesday we didn´t eat at all.
On Wedneday we had to starve and on Thursday we really did suffer,
And, oh, on Friday we nearly died from lack of food.
So use the Saturday to bake bread for us,
Otherwise, on Sunday, we´ll come to eat, oh King, YOU!

Which seems a little more likely.
