Oh, I wish that I could find the reason why
Living isn't really giving
Oh, I wish that I could find the reason why

Living isn't really giving

But I don't care how long it takes

For the days to get nice
'Cause me and my friends, you know we're ready
And willing to pay the price


Oh, la la la ....


Way deep down inside
I know I'm on a free ride
But when the green light turns to red

Who is living, who is dead

They've taken out the river

And they've put in a cement road
It's made the going a whole lot lighter
But made a much heavier load


I don't know how long I can go on like this
Don't know how long I can go on like this

Don't know how long I can go on like this

I see the light switch on the wall

With no legs I'm still tall
We might not make it at all
I can see the river and the little place where I would swim

Where did it all begin
I wish I knew


Oh, I wish that I could find the reason why
Living isn't really giving
Isn't really giving

Isn't really giving
