You work hard now
To put the food on the table
You´re working for the men
Who don´t even know your name
That´s the way that it goes
When you´re down here with the rest of us
You might lose now
Your beautiful children
Your happy home, yeah
And your beautiful wife
That´s the way that it goes
When you´re down here with the rest of us

You´ll suffer hard now
As you bury
Your loved ones
You´ll suffer hard now
When you lose your best friend
That´s the way that it goes
When you´re down here with the rest of us
That´s the way that it goes
And I know how you feel

No ones immune now
To a world of problems
No ones exempt now
From a world of pain
That´s the way that it goes
When you´re down here with the rest of us

I try hard now
To do the right thing
Yet I wonder
Why I still do what´s wrong
That´s the way that it goes
When you´re down here with the rest of us
That´s the way that it goes
And I know how you feel
