Car Lights flash my eyes
|
Blinded, Hypnotized
|
Lord knows I'm living
|
and I'm never coming back
|
Now one generation dies
|
Next one wins the prize
|
and that's the big surprise
|
There's demise in all of their lies
|
It's never to late to realize
|
|
That's just the way things are
|
That's just the way it is now [x2]
|
|
I walk through the cemetery
|
It's all empty
|
Now I put a rose
|
on 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 are
|
That'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 Wrong
|
Bad times here, Good times gone
|
First rule they always sell
|
Second rule never tell
|
Third rule straight to hell
|
White collar criminals
|
Living in jail
|
It'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 save
|
It's a letter that you can't send
|
It's a wound that will never mend
|
Pain level peaks at ten
|
Some stand out Some stand in
|
|
That's just the way things are
|
That's just the way it is now [x2]
|

That's Just The Way It Is Now
