Ways Of The World
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.
I hear you're looking for a reason
They've been running you around
And if you're looking for some peace man
You know that we can help you out
You say you're tired of working
And getting nothing in return
You're living life for the weekend
It's setting in, starting to burn
Oo oo oo
Well let me tell you about the ways of the world
Sometimes you do exactly as you're told
Not all that glitters is made of gold, no no no
Oh oh oh
But take a risk even though it may seem
You'll never make it, like it's just a daydream
One day you're living the reality
Oh woah, woah oh oh
Oh woah, woah oh oh
You say you wake up every morning
Like you got a million more to go
Well if you're waiting for a warning
I'll tell you something you should know
This could be your last sunrise
You gotta try to make it shine
You won't believe how the time flies
And if you're still afraid of what you'll find
Oo oo oo
Well let me tell you about the ways of the world
Sometimes you do exactly as you're told
Not all that glitters is made of gold, no no no
Oh oh oh
But take a risk even though it may seem
You'll never make it, like it's just a daydream
One day you're living the reality
Oh woah, woah oh oh
Oh woah, woah oh oh
I know you really don't think it can be
But you gotta believe me
Don't shut your eyes so tight, you can't see
I know you really don't think it can be
But you gotta believe me
Don't shut your eyes so tight, you can't see
And I know it's never easy
Well let me tell you about the ways of the world
Sometimes you do exactly as you're told
Not all that glitters is made of gold, no no no
Oh oh oh
But take a risk even though it may seem
You'll never make it, like it's just a daydream
One day you're living the reality
Oh woah, woah oh oh
Oh woah, woah oh oh
