Car Lights flash my eyes Blinded, Hypnotized Lord knows I'm livingand I'm never coming back Now one generation dies Next one wins the prizeand that's the big surprisethere's demise in all of their liesit's never to late to realize That's just the way things arethat's just the way it is now [x2] I walk through the cemeteryit's all empty Now I put a roseon the grave of a fallen hero And I look out into the wild All I see is emptiness So much loneliness I just want forgiveness That's just the way things arethat's just the way it is now [x2] When dreams fade away It won't be long End up singing the same old song What went right, What Went WrongBad times here, Good times gone First rule they always sell Second rule never tell Third rule straight to hell White collar criminals Living in jailit's all that they gave Sold your soul to get paid Buy you end up in an early grave Your own neck you can't saveit's a letter that you can't sendit's a wound that will never mend Pain level peaks at ten Some stand out Some stand in That's just the way things arethat's just the way it is now [x2]
