Oh, people down-cast in despair
See the disillusion everywhere
Hoping their bad luck will change
It's a little harder everyday
People struggle, people fight
For the simple pleasures in their life
The trouble comes from everywhere
It's a little more than you can bear
I know that it will hurt
I know that it will break your heart
The way things are
The way they've been
And the way they've always been
People shallow, self-absorbed
See them push and shove for their rewards
When nothing else is on their minds
You can read about it in their eyes
People ruthless, people cruel
The damage that some people do
Full of hatred, full of pride
It's enough to make you lose your mind
I know that it will hurt
I know that it will break your heart
The way things are
And the way they've been
Yeah, I know that it will hurt (I know that it will hurt)
I know that it will break your heart
The way things are
And the way they've been
Don't spread the discontent
Don't spread the lies
Don't make the same mistakes
With your own life
You know it'll always come back
Yeah, I know that it will hurt (I know that it will hurt)
I know that it will break your heart
The way things are
And the way they've been
Don't spread the discontent
Don't spread the lies
Don't make the same mistakes
With your own life
And don't disrespect yourself
Don't lose your pride
And don't think everybody's
Gonna choose your side, oh no
