lyrics

There was a time a man could be strong
and love a good woman but those days are gone
We've given into temptation and we won't be comin' back
We ask so much for what we give, not lovin' things we touch
That's the way we live

Not so long ago, people gave a damn
but now I don't know how wise I really am
Givin' up on our dreams now they don't give nothin' back
We ask too much for what we give, take everything we touch
That's the way we live

Play a song for people, they don't listen no more
Try to fly like an eagle, they nail you to the floor
We've given into our TVs and they don't give nothin' back
We ask too much for what we give, not helping others out
That's the way we live

It don't gotta be this way tomorrow's gonna come
If you've got something to say and your heart is where it's from
Just go chasin' your dreams, don't ever come back
You'll get much more than what you give, don't let them tell you different,
That's the way we live
