One life to live but we're doing it wrong

You see, got my brother down cause it's nothing to me

Everyone saying that it's wrong to cheat

But there's no other way to get my life on easy street

Someone else telling you what you're living for

Been knocking you down, now you're looking for more

The only sound you hear is a closing door

Been looking for peace but they're bringing you war

Rich man's crying cause his money's time

And poor man's smiling cause he knows he ain't blind

There's a man over there says he's tougher than me

But i got eyes that can see through fantasy

I think my life is passing me by

I think my life is passing me by

Take it all back cause it don't mean nothing

If you give it away and you're looking for something back

Wake up every morning when there's nothing there

No reason to die but no reason to care

Someone else telling you what you're living for

Been knocking you down now you're looking for more

The only sound you hear is a closing door

Been looking for peace but they're bringing you war

One life to live but we're doing it wrong

You see, got my brother down cause it's nothing to me

Rich man's crying cause his money's time

Poor man's smiling cause he knows he ain't blind

I think my life is passing me by

I think my life is passing me by
