they'll tell you where you're going 

and how you have to get there 



what they won't tell you 

is that you're working for pennies a day 



and you'll work your life away 

so they can live their own 

they're at the top 

we're at the bottom fighting for our homes 



i'm in for the long run 

i'm in for the day 

i'm in for the time, though people say 

"are you going to stay this way?" 

i'm in for the life 

that i choose to live 

if that makes me so unusual 

it makes everyone else look all the same (yeah) 



the grass is always greener on the opposite side 

by the time you get there, you wish you hadn't half of the time 



it seems so illogicial that we choose to hurt ourselves 

but given the choice, you did what anyone would 

who was fighting for their home 



i'm in for the long run 

i'm in for the day 

i'm in for the time, though people say 

"are you going to stay this way?" 

i'm in for the life 

that i choose to live 

if that makes me so unusual 

it makes everyone else look all the same (yeah) 



(it makes them look the same) 



well i guess i must be going 

i've got better things to do 

then sit around all day and hate the world 



i guess i should be learning 

that wishes don't come true 

it takes a lot of work to just pull through 



when you've had enough to make you quit 

you just have to keep holding on (holding on) 



i'm in for the long run 

i'm in for the day 

i'm in for the time, though people say 

"are you going to stay this way?" 

i'm in for the life 

that i choose to live 

if that makes me so unusual 

it makes everyone else look all the same (yeah)
