Oh, people downcast in despair |
|
See the disillusion everywhere |
|
Hoping their bad luck will change |
|
Gets a little harder everyday |
|
People struggle, people fight |
|
For the simple pleasures in their life |
|
The trouble comes from everywhere |
|
It's a little more than you can bear |
|
I know that it will hurt |
|
I know that it will break your heart |
|
The way things are and the way they've been |
|
And the way they've always been |
|
People shallow, self absorbed |
|
See the push and shove for their rewards |
|
With nothing nice on their minds |
|
You can read about it in their eyes |
|
People ruthless, people cruel |
|
The damage that some people do |
|
Full of hatred, full of pride |
|
It's enough to make you lose your mind |
|
I know that it will hurt |
|
I know that it will break your heart |
|
The way things are |
|
And the way they've been |
|
Yeah, I know that it will hurt |
|
I know that it will hurt |
|
I know that it will break your heart |
|
The way things are |
|
And the way they've been |
|
Don't spread the discontent |
|
Don't spread the lies |
|
Don't make the same mistakes |
|
With your own life |
|
You know a little love survives |
|
Yeah, I know that it will hurt |
|
I know that it will hurt |
|
I know that it will break your heart |
|
The way things are |
|
And the way they've been |
|
Don't spread the discontent |
|
Don't spread the lies |
|
Don't make the same mistakes |
|
With your own life |
|
And don't disrespect yourself |
|
Don't lose your pride |
|
And don't think everybody's |
|
Gonna choose your side |
|
Oh no, oh no |
|
Oh no, oh no |
|
Oh no, no, no |
|
Oh no |
