Lyrics

No Way To Live

Verse
Working all day for the minimum wage
Won't get you far in this day and age
You can do everything you're supposed to do
But still it seems there's nothing left for you
Maybe you believe everything's just fine
With so many people thinking what's yours is mine
If you give 'em what they want and you try to do good
They won't think you did it in the name of Brotherhood

Chorus
You can give everybody your very best
But if there's anything left they'll take all the rest
You just give, and give, and give, and give
That ain't no way to live

Verse
You fight for the right to be who you are
But still you don't get very far
It feels like there's nothing left for you
But to try to get by and do what you've got to do
There's gotta come a day when you don't give in
No more games nobody can win
You work hard in school and you really try
But then you can't find a job and it makes you wonder why

Chorus
You can give everybody your very best
But if there's anything left they'll take all the rest
You just give, and give, and give, and give
That ain't no way to live

Guitar solo

Bridge
If you look inside a crystal ball,
You'll see us all before the fall
You'll see the world like it used to be
When it all made sense and living was oh so easy

Chorus
You can give everybody your very best
But if there's anything left they'll take all the rest
You just give, and give, and give, and give
That ain't no way to live
No way to live
No way to live
That ain't no way to live
