You start in the middle and you're doing fine. But there's just too little to keep them satisfied. So you try a little harder and you try and try. Long way home so you go for a ride.
This uphill battle I've been fighting my whole life. Somehow this melody cuts deeper than their knives. These three chords can win this war. And it's not even a fair fight.
I walked through the city limits. Attracted by some force within it. Around a corner where some profit lay. A wire fence where the children play. And I was looking for a friend of mine.
Where did you go?. So far away. It seems like everybody tried to tell you everything. And who are you?. Who are they?. Seems like everybody wants to give themselves away.
Yesterday I got so old. I felt like I would die. Yesterday I got so old. It made me want to cry. . Go on, go on, just walk away. Go on, go on, your choice is made.
I've never seen you look like this without a reason. Another promise fallen through. Another season passes by you. . I never took the smile away from anybody's face.
I think it's starting again. The same thing that happens when. I'm sure what I'm thinking about is right. But I don't know anything. The inhibitions decline.
Four year old at play, shot and killed today. Never even had a chance. Seventeen and high, threw away his life. Has a gun to feel like he's a man. . Can't have it any other way.
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man. I'm Popeye the Sailor Man.. I'm strong to the finich, cause I eats me spinach.. I'm Popeye the Sailor Man.. . I'm one tough Gazookus, which hates all Palookas..
Well, I didn't want a second chance. Now that's exactly where I am. Back where I didn't want to be. Back where I knew, you'd find me out, out, out. . I've never been afraid of you.
Moving forwards using all my breath. Making love to you was never second best. I saw the world thrashing all around your face. Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace.
Make up your mind. Are you really becoming this?. Are you going along to get along?. I hope I got it wrong. . You know I've tried. And it's hard for me to resist.
Does anybody see him?. Another set up for the fall. Does anybody hear him?. He's screaming at the same blank wall. . And everyone can't be right. But everyone will decide.
Well everybody wants the truth. But everybody lies, yeah everybody lies. Well everybody wants some proof. But everybody's blind so open up your eyes. .
I've tried to fake it. I've tried to lie about it. I've tried to take it. There's nothing new about it. . I can't take a thing from you. Because I want what I want.
Try not to try. Try not to care. It's really easy once you learn. That no one is listening. . Try not to give. Try not to help. You'll do much better for yourself.
Even if it make you want to stop and stare. You'd be better off it you were unaware. Everybody wants to see that it's not them. . Focused and unaffected.
Get up in the mornin' feelin' might weak. A tossin' and a turnin' well, I had ain't no sleep. Oh baby, what road's our love taking?. To romance or heartbreaking'.
My mom she likes you, she thinks you're swell. Got the makings of a dance-hall girl. Your low-cut frock and your bird's-nest hair. Stiletto heels and the way that you swear.
Enough, how much is enough?. Tired of keeping up. Tired of treading water all the time. . I'm done, but I won't be the one. Who tries to get ahead. Standing on the backs of other men.
