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 nice
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
Yeah I know
That it will hurt
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 survives
Yeah I know
That it will hurt
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
Gonna choose your side
Oh no oh no
Oh no oh no
Oh no no no
Oh no
