if you got news you better break it
I'm growin' up so tell me fast
this is my life it's my conviction
I'm the pain deep in your ass

where are your skeletons in closets
where is my part? where is my share
where are the faces of tomorrow
where's the time you really cared?

hey - hey - hey

could be I was blinded by the light
could be I was swallowin' my pride
I felt like a dog without a bone
I felt like a king without a throne

but I knew I'd be comin' back
puttin' up the fight
and whisper in your ear

that I'm alive
I'm alive

where are the friends you used to play with
when you were little
some did it wrong, some did it right
some lost their nerve some lost their future
one bought a gun and shot his wife

no wonder you feel like a hasbeen
no wonder you no longer strive for the good life
where's the hope in your confusion
really close but no cigar

so you need to brag about the future
man have I got some questions for you
hey - hey - hey
need some answers too
hey - hey - hey
