In a world where not much means a thing You made an offering of love And no one seems to care It's sad as time goes marching by We need to justify the lies We're selling to ourselves Don't it leave you incomplete? All alone with your defeated pride, lost innocence You're searching for a reason but you've lost it deep inside Things don't have to be this way Why must there always be a price to pay? No, things don't have to be this way, ah, ha, ha, ha If I could I'd fix those things done wrong I'd build my world big and strong And I would keep it to myself Don't it leave you incomplete? All alone with your defeated pride, lost innocence You're searching for a reason but you've lost it deep inside And a voice inside your head Assuring of coming dread Let's blame the world instead, it's so easy Things don't have to be this way Why must there always be a price to pay? No, things don't have to be this way, ah, ha, ha, ha This way, things don't have to be this way Why must there always be a price to pay? No, things don't have to be this way, ah, ha, ha, ha This way, things don't have to be this way Why must there always be a price to pay? No, things don't have to be this way, ah, ha, ha, ha Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh Ah, ah, ah
