WAY OF THE WORLD

 

IT’S NOT FOR US TO DENY A MAN HIS FREEDOM,

YOU DON’T GET MUCH OF IT SO GRAB IT WHILE YOU CAN,

AND AS EVERY MINUTE PASSES BY,

SLOWLY, I BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND.

 

CHORUS

IT’S OUT OF MY HANDS,

IT’S OUT OF MY HANDS,

AND IT’S THE WAY OF THE WORLD,

AND IT’S THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

 

SOMETIMES YOU TRY TO LIVE YOUR LIFE WITH REASON,

SOMETIMES YOU EVEN TRY TO LIVE IT FAIR,

THERE’S ALWAYS SOMEONE AROUND JUST TO MESS IT UP,

HIS HEAD IS FULL OF HATE AND HE DON’T CARE.

 

CHORUS

 

THE SMILING FACES THAT YOU SEE THROUGH THE DAYTIME,

HIDE IN DOORWAYS AND IN STREET CORNERS AT NIGHT,

MAYBE THIS TIME YOU’ILL GET AWAY,

THAT DAY THEY DIDN’T GET YOU,

BUT TOMORROW THEY MIGHT.
