Give It Up
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Live in hope of love
And wait to die
Sadness all around us makes for crying
Feelings that once meant so much
Were left to dry and turn to dust, and ashes
We learn to wheel and deal
And say goodbye
Madness all around us makes for dying
The young deceivers soon turn old
And left to die beside amongst their gold
Cash it
Give it up or we'll end up in ours give it up
Give it up give yourself time
Give it up save your son
Give it up give it up
Give it up
Drive a million miles to see the sun
Hoping we are not to late for saving
The lord will smile on you to day
Give you love that you can trade
For matches
TV and movie stars
And driving cars it's catchy
Give it up or we will end up in ours
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up give yourself time
Give it up save your son
Give it up (X12)
