Oh, people downcast in despair
See the disillusion everywhere
Hoping that their luck will change
Its a little harder every day

People struggle, people fight
For the simple pleasures in their lives
The trouble comes from everywhere
Its a little more than you can bear

I know it will be hurt
I know it will break your heart the way things are
And the way theyve been
And the way theyve always been

People shallow self absorbed
See the push and shove for their rewards
With nothing nice on their minds
You can read about it in their eyes

People ruthless, people cruel
The damage that some people do
Full of hatred, full of pride
Its enough to make you lose your mind

I know that it will hurt
I know that it will break your heart the way things are
And the way theyve been
Yeah I know that it will hurt
I know it will hurt
I know that it will break your heart
The way things are and the way theyve been
Dont spread discontent, dont spread the lies
Dont make the same mistakes with your own life
You know it will always came back

Yeah, I know that it will hurt
I know that it will hurt
I know that it will break your heart
The way things are and the way theyve been
Dont spread discontent, dont spread the lies
Dont make the same mistakes with your own life
And dont disrespect yourself, dont lose your pride
And dont think everybody is gonna chose your side
Oh no... oh no... no..
