Car lights flash my eyes
Blinded, hypnotized
Lord knows i'm living
And i'm never coming back
Now one generation dies
Next one wins the prize
And that's the big surprise
There's demise in all of their lies
It's never to late to realize

That's just the way things are
That's just the way it is now (x2)

I walk through the cemetery
It's all empty
Now i put a rose
On the grave of a fallen hero
And i look out into the wild
All i see is emptiness
So much loneliness
I just want forgiveness

That's just the way things are
That's just the way it is now (x2)

When dreams fade away
It won't be long
End up singing the same old song
What went right, what went wrong
Bad times here, good times gone
First rule they always sell
Second rule never tell
Third rule straight to hell
White collar criminals
Living in jail
It's all that they gave
Sold your soul to get paid
Buy you end up in an early grave
Your own neck you can't save
It's a letter that you can't send
It's a wound that will never mend
Pain level peaks at ten
Some stand out some stand in
