Thought I should let you know that we're all worried
|
About the way you choose to live your life
|
You always seem to be in such a big hurry
|
All work, no play leaves no time for delight
|
You're not a slave
|
But you seem to be tired down
|
You seek enlightenment in dead presidents
|
But there's nothing to be found
|
You tell everybody that you'r doing fine
|
But I know you better
|
And I know you'd never let them see you cry
|
Keep telling yourself that you don't need help
|
I wish you'd take it easier, friend
|
Because if life is the means
|
What's the end?
|
What's it going to take for you to learn your lesson?
|
You're on a wire
|
Skating on thin ice
|
The bookies and the doctors got you sweating
|
Was cheating death and cheating bets worth the price?
|
Why, then is your tired back breaking
|
Your poor heart still aching?
|
For money can't buy love or protect you from pain
|
So what gives?
|
