Nobody told you life was easy Nobody promised you a taste Above and beyond what you have worked for Above and beyond this mess you've made
Nobody told you you were different Nobody promised you'd be free To do what you want while others feed you And make sure you have all that you need
Cause I know how good it could be If your eyes were on the prize I'm already lonely When I look into your eyes But I get so damned frustrated Cause I'm not supposed to say Stand here looking backward While you waste your time While you waste your time away
