Ever wonder about what hes doing?
How it all turned to lies?
Sometimes I think that its better to never ask why
Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame
Someones bound to get burned
But just because it burns
Doesnt mean youre gonna die
Youve gotta get up and try, and try, and try
Gotta get up and try, and try, and try
You gotta get up and try, and try, and try"
Unemployment at a record highs
People coming, people going, people born to die
Dont ask me, because I dont know why
But its like that, and thats the way it is
People in the world tryin to make ends meet
You try to ride car, train, bus, or feet
I said you got to work hard, you want to compete
Its like that, and thats the way it is
Huh!
