  • Oh people downcast in despair
    See the disillusion everywhere
    Hoping that their luck will change
    It's a little harder every day
    People struggle people fight
    For the simple pleasures in their lives
    The trouble comes from everywhere
    It's 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 they've been
    And the way they've 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
    It's 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 they've 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 they've been
    Don't spread discontent, don't spread the lies
    Don't make the same mistakes with your own life
    You know it will always come 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 they've been
    Don't spread discontent, don't spread the lies
    Don't make the same mistakes with your own life
    And don't disrespect yourself, don't lose your pride
    And don't think everybody is gonna chose your side
    Oh no... Oh no... no.. Writer/s: NATALIE A MERCHANT
