This is not the way it's

Supposed to be



Spend my day in fear of all

It sets me free



I beg your pardon

For what I do and say

I can hold myself to blame

But the sure remains the same



Will success fail me?

Will it make me free?

What they tell me I should want?

Is it what I need?



Hey Mom, Hey Dad

The story went

Round the burning wheels of faith

It pays the rent



Hey sister, hey brother

I had to choose

Choose between the win and lose

But what's the use?



Will success fail me?

Will it make me free?

What they tell me I should want?

Is it what I need?



Come March come April

Come may and June

Let the pounding seconds go

There's nothing I can do



Will success fail me?

Will it make me free?

What they tell me I should want?

Is it what I need? (x 2)



Is there something I can do?
