Oh people
downcast in despair
see the disillusion everywhere
hoping their bad luck will change
gets a little harder everyday
people struggle
people fight for the simple pleasures in their life
the trouble comes from everywhere
it’s a little more than you can bear
I know that it will hurt
I know that it will break your heart the way things are
and the way they’ve been
and the way they’ve always been
people shallow
self-absorbed
see the push and shove for their rewards
with nothing else on their minds
you can read about it in their eyes
people ruthless
people cruel
the damage that some people do
full of hatred
full of pride
it’s enough to make you lose your mind
I know that it will hurt
I know that it will break your heart the way things are
and the way they’ve been
yah I know that it will hurt
I know that it will break your heart the way things are
and the way they’ve been
don’t spread the discontent
don’t spread the lies
don’t make the same mistakes with your own life
you know a little love [ survive]
yah I know that it will hurt
I know that it will break your heart the way things are
and the way they’ve been
don’t spread the discontent
don’t spread the lies
don’t make the same mistakes with your own life
and don’t disrespect yourself
don’t lose your pride
and don’t think everybody’s going to choose your side
oh no
oh no
oh no
