Life they say u can't runaway
Tell me do u really know what they mean?
Promises spoke but never broken
We're dyin' 2 live, we're dyin' just the same
How can u trust somebody
When there's no 1 left 2 blame?
U run from the blood on the money
& sell yourself again
Chorus:
I say, hey, yea.
Oh, my
. brother, brother, won't u listen up
I say, hey, yea.
Oh, my.
Mother, father, won't u listen up
Rain, rain, rain, wash away the pain
& tell me that it's just another bad dream
U say you'll educate me, but u break me from the hope u gave me
Go on eat your words now hypocrite
How can u love somebody
When we're really all the same?
Sick of the same old story
But u got nothin' 2 say
Chorus
Solo
