Found on Heard.

Oh, I wish that I could find the reason why
|
Living isn't really giving
|
Oh, I wish that I could find the reason why
|
Living isn't really giving
|
|
But I don't care how long it takes
|
For the days to get nice
|
'Cause me and my friends, you know we're ready
|
And willing to pay the price
|
|
Oh, la la la ....
|
|
Way deep down inside
|
I know I'm on a free ride
|
But when the green light turns to red
|
Who is living, who is dead
|
|
They've taken out the river
|
And they've put in a cement road
|
It's made the going a whole lot lighter
|
But made a much heavier load
|
|
I don't know how long I can go on like this
|
Don't know how long I can go on like this
|
Don't know how long I can go on like this
|
|
I see the light switch on the wall
|
With no legs I'm still tall
|
We might not make it at all
|
I can see the river and the little place where I would swim
|
Where did it all begin
|
I wish I knew
|
|
Oh, I wish that I could find the reason why
|
Living isn't really giving
|
Isn't really giving
|
Isn't really giving
|
