This is not the way it's
Supposed to be


Spend my day in fear of all
It sets me free


I beg your pardon
For what I do and say
I can hold myself to blame

But the sure remains the same

Will success fail me?

Will it make me free?
What they tell me I should want?
Is it what I need?


Hey Mom, Hey Dad
The story went

Round the burning wheels of faith
It pays the rent


Hey sister, hey brother
I had to choose
Choose between the win and lose

But what's the use?

Will success fail me?

Will it make me free?
What they tell me I should want?
Is it what I need?


Come March come April
Come may and June

Let the pounding seconds go
There's nothing I can do


Will success fail me?
Will it make me free?
What they tell me I should want?

Is it what I need? (x 2)

Is there something I can do?
