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