When I was young
I was told what to want
I've got a wife and babies too
I've tried so hard
But all my feelings have gone
So have my wife and money too
So I'm giving up
Time for easy action
So I'm giving up
I'm gonna do what I want
I always worked if I envy part of the scheme of things (? )
One weeks work one weeks pay
I find it hard
The (? ) not so easy
So I'm heading up and moving out
Giving up
It's a cool reaction
Oh I'll give it up
Don't want to fight no more
Giving up
Time for easy action
There's always been a feeling down inside of me
I don't care I (? )
I'm off the wall
Giving up
Time for easy action
I'm giving up
I'm gonna do just what I want
Giving up
It's a cool reaction
Oh I'll give it up
Don't want to fight no more
Giving up
Time for easy action
Giving up
What I wanted was before
Giving up
It's a cool reaction
Giving up
I shall overcome
