You can take a day or two but no more than that we’ve got a real strict schedule to meet. Don’t you want to keep the lights on in that house? Don’t you want to keep shoes on your kid’s feet? See they don’t care if you’re sick, they don’t care if you’re ill. They need you to do things nobody else will cause if the lights go out that American dream moves on. Are you tired of living, two weeks at a time? Working paycheque to paycheque, fighting just to stay alive. As it goes on, you’re left behind to wonder what life could have been like if you were born at a different time, so don’t let it die. Can we talk about timing? Or should we talk about love? Maybe we should just walk away & pretend it ain’t in our blood. ‘Cause either you’re something or you’re nothing. You’re broken, or you’re loving. Well if loving means nothing being broken meant something to me. Being broken meant something to me. Are you tired of living, two weeks at a time? Working paycheque to paycheque, fighting just to stay alive. As it goes on, you’re left behind to wonder what life could have been like if you were born at a different time, so don’t let it die. ‘Cause either you’re something, or you’re nothing. You’re broken, or you’ve loving. Either you’re something, or you’re nothing. You’re broken, you’re broken. Are you tired of living, two weeks at a time? Fuckin’ paycheque to paycheque, fighting just to stay alive. As it goes on, you’re left behind to wonder what life could have been like if you were born at a different time, so don’t let it die. Don’t let it die.
