One life to live but we're doing it wrong
 You see, got my brother down cause it's nothing to me
 Everyone 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
 The only sound you hear is a closing door
 Been looking for peace but they're bringing you war
 Rich man's crying cause his money's time
 And poor man's smiling cause he knows he ain't blind
 There's a man over there says he's tougher than me
 But i 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
 If you give it away and you're looking for something back
 Wake up every morning when there's nothing there
 No reason to die but no reason to care
 
 Someone else telling you what you're living for
 Been knocking you down now you're looking for more
 The only sound 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 wrong
 You see, got my brother down cause it's nothing to me
 Rich man's crying cause his money's time
 Poor man's smiling cause he knows he ain't blind
 
 I think my life is passing me by
 I think my life is passing me by
