It's all happened here before.
I know you've seen it too.
I know you've seen it too.
And it's all happened to you.
Kid you've paid your dues.
Dues and dues.
Why would you wanna live in this world? [X2]
I know you watch the news.
I've seen it too.
I've seen it too.
And it's all happened to you.
Kid you've paid your dues.
Dues and dues.
Why would you wanna live in this world?
Why wouldn't you wanna live in this world?
Wouldn't you wanna live....
