|
Never thought it would be so rough |
|
And I wonder if |
|
I have enough |
|
To keep from breaking down |
|
No mercy in this town |
|
Every day is just another test |
|
Seems I'm always second best |
|
But you learn along the way |
|
That's the price you have to pay |
|
I try to stay defiant |
|
Be tough and self-reliant |
|
Though I get tired to the bone |
|
Love is just a wish you keep inside |
|
How's it gonna help me to survive |
|
Looks like |
|
I'm in this fight alone |
|
And I'm living in desperate times |
|
Being alive's my only crime |
|
Don't care what |
|
I have to do |
|
I'll find some way to make it through |
|
Oh, and I'm living in desperate times |
|
And it's too late to change my mind |
|
Till these desperate times are done |
|
Gonna run, watch me run |
|
Innocents get taken in |
|
By the promise of an easy win |
|
They start off so naive |
|
So eager to believe |
|
But the glitter of the city lights |
|
Only covers up a lonely night |
|
Of strangers slamming doors |
|
You're hungry and ignored |
|
I've faced the competition |
|
I've made the hard decisions |
|
Will it be worth it in the end? |
|
Taking any chance that comes along |
|
Getting hard to tell what's right or wrong |
|
I only wish |
|
I had a friend |
|
And I'm livin' in desperate times |
|
Being alive's my only crime |
|
Don't care what |
|
I have to do |
|
I'll find some way to make it through |
|
Oh, and I'm livin' in desperate times |
|
And it's too late to change my mind |
|
Till these desperate times are done |
|
Gonna run, watch me run |
|
And I'm livin' in desperate times |
|
Being alive's my only crime |
|
Don't care what |
|
I have to do |
|
I'll find some way to make it through |
|
And I'm livin' in desperate times |
|
Being alive's my only crime |
|
Don't care what |
|
I have to do |
|
I'll find some way to make it through |
|
Oh, and I'm livin' in desperate times |
|
And it's too late to change my mind |
|
Till these desperate times are done |
|
Gonna run, watch me run |
