One life to live but we're doing it right, you see,
cap a brother down cause he's nothing to me.

Everyone's 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.

All sudden you hear is a closing door,
been looking for peace but they're bringing you war.

Rich man crying cause his money is time.
Poor man smiling cause he knows he ain't lying.

There's a man over there says he's tougher than me,
but I've 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,
but if you give it away, and you're looking for something back.

Wake up every morning and there's nothing there.
No reason to die, no reason to care.

Someone else telling you what you're living for,
been knocking you down, now you're looking for more.

All sudden 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 right, you see,
cap a brother down cause he's nothing to me.

Rich man crying cause his money is time.
Poor man smiling cause he knows he ain't lying.

I think my life is passing me by.
I think my life is passing me by...
