Forced To Live
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.
That's the deal.
Forced to live!
You're on the wheel.
Forced to live!
That's the deal.
Forced to live!
Deal the wheel.
Forced to live!
I see you.
Forced to live!
Wheel and deal.
Forced to live!
Don't wanna leave you in the lurch.
You look like a vulture on a perch.
Carry on.
Forced to live!
Carry on.
Forced to live!
Don't wanna leave you up a tree.
Ain't gonna leave you hanging, see?
I see you carry on.
I see you carry on.
Won't you take a walk with me.
We could go for miles.
Don't step on the chalk marks.
Keep your streety feet in style.
Keep moving!
Forced to live!
Keep moving!
Forced to live!
Trying for sympathy.
Crying you're forced to be.
I see you're crying yourself to church.
I see that vulture on the perch.
Keep moving!
Forced to live!
Keep moving!
Forced to live!
Don't wanna leave you up a tree.
Ain't gonna leave you hanging, see?
That's's the deal.
Forced to live!
You're on the wheel.
Forced to live!
Won't you take a walk with me.
We could go for miles.
Don't step on the chalk marks.
Keep your streety feet in style.
Keep moving!
Forced to live!
Keep moving!
Forced to live!
Trying for sympathy.
Crying you're forced to be.
Man's inhumanity to man's inhumanity to man's
inhumanity to man's inhumanity.
That's the deal.
Forced to live!
You're on the wheel.
Forced to live!
That's the deal.
Forced to live!
Deal the wheel.
Forced to live!
I see you carrying yourself to church.
You see that vulture on a perch?
Keep moving!
Forced to live!
Keep moving!
Forced to live!
I don't want the future bag.
That vulture is a fucking drag.
Trying for sympathy.
Crying you're forced to be.
Won't you take a walk with me.
We could go for miles.
Don't step on the chalk marks.
Keep your streety feet in style.
Forced to live!
