People downcast, is despair
|
See the disillusion everywhere
|
Hoping their bad luck will change
|
Gets a little harder every day
|
|
People struggle, people fight
|
For the simple pleasures in their lives
|
But 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
|
I, me, my is on their minds
|
You can read about it in their eyes
|
|
People ruthless, people cruel
|
See the damage that some people do
|
Full of hatred, full of pride
|
It's enough to make you loose 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
|
|
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 never will let love survive
|
|
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
|
Don't disrespect yourself
|
Don't loose your pride
|
And don't think that
|
Everybody's gonna choose your side
|
