Seventeen years in a dead end job,
Telling his dreams to a deaf eared god,
Hangin´ on tight by a single thread,
Prayin´ for a change.
Everything you could have sacrificed,
Your flesh and blood had it´s own sweet price,
Baby´s all grown up and moved away,
Where´s that leave you now?
It was your own decision,
You made my life your mission.
Somebody tell me,
(it doesnt make no sense at all)
Somebody tell me,
Why we´re living in a world of contradiction.
Why is it so hard to be understood?
Doing so much for the common good,
Sorry if I didn´t see the truth,
The sadness in your eyes.
I wanted to stand on my own two feet,
Looking at life as a one way street,
Thinking that I had it all worked out,
Where´s that leave me now?
We lost communication,
Too many expectations.
Somebody tell me,
(it doesnt make no sense at all)
Somebody tell me,
Why we´re living in a world of contradiction,
Somebody tell me,
(it doesnt make no sense at all)
Somebody tell me,
Why we´re living in a world of contradiction.
Everything I have inside,
I kept it wrapped up tight,
All I know is...
All I want to know is...
