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