One life to live, but we're doin' it wrong you see,

Got my brother down, cause it's nothin to me.



Everyone's saying that it's wrong to cheat,

But there's no other way to get your life on easy street.



Someone else telling you what your livin' for,

Been knockin' you down, now you're lookin' for more.



The only sound you hear is a closing door,

Been lookin' for peace, but their bringin' you war.



Rich man crying cause his money's time,

Poor man smiling cause he knows he ain't blind.



There's a man over there, says he's tougher than me,

but I got eyes that can see through fantasy.



I think my life is passing me by.

I think my life is passing me by.



Take it all back, cause it don't mean nothin',

If you give it away, and you're lookin' for something back.



Wake up every mornin', and there's nothin' there,

No reason to die, but no reason to care.



Someone else telling you what you're livin' for,

Been knockin' you down, now you're lookin' for more.



The only sound you hear is a closing door,

Been lookin' for peace, but their bringin' you war.
