It doesn't have to be this way
Just countin the hours
Cos when your bed it's made
Then baby it's too late
There's no hope for a hungry child
Whose joker is wild
They take all hope away
By the end of the day
Well i just about have enough of the sunshine.
Hey what did i hear you say
You kwnow. It doesn't have to be that way
You when walk out the door
You gonna ask for more
You gonna ask for more.
I't doesn't have to hurt that way
Hust counting the pain
You've only got yourself to blame
For playing the game
There's no hope for a hungry child (No wonder)
Whose joker is wild
And they take all hope away
And i just can't see the sense
And my mind's a haze
Will i just about have enough of the sunshine.
Hey what did i hear you say
You know, it doesn't have to be that way
You when you walk out the door
You gonna ask for more
But society...ahh take a tip from me now.
Sui bap bap a du bip bap...
What did i hear you say
You know, it doesn't have to be that way
You when you walk out the door
You gonna ask for more, you gonna ask for more
Hey what did i hear you say
You know, it doesn't have to be that way
You!When you walk out the door
You gonna ask for more, you gonna ask for more.
