I've been down and out many times
I've been holding out for the sublime
You're the only reason I've come so far
You're the only reason I've come through
But these days have me beat
I can't help but think We're all on repeat
The institutions that we rely on
Are shackled with the limitations we tie on
This deck of cards would crumble
The keys would fall off the board
Through this life I would surely stumble
Wishing someone would cut the chord
Should I ever lose my faith in you
Leaders are hardly able to keep up
With the people they choose to corrupt
No party will come close
To the ideals we all need the most
This world would fall to pieces
This life would cease to bring joy
As the pressure ever increases
Many lives would they no hesitate to destroy
This world would fall to pieces
This life would cease to bring any joy
As the pressure ever increases
Many lives would they not hesitate to destroy
Should I ever lose my faith in you
I don't know what I have to say
But sometimes you've gotta let it go that way
I thought that I never would succeed
What's life to be or not to be?
I've got to get out of the way
I know life's gonna be better one day
And if I don't I expect to hear you say
Why'd you get this way?
