My friends say we're stuck in a hopless thing They all say the same thing - it can't work Our life's so full of strife It make's you reach for the knife It won't work, aw but you know the feeling So it goes & now it's gone You & me we struggle on Please seize these chains that hold us back Let's make it work! Life lists on & we survive, but it sucks us dry The bitter waste, chances passed And we passed them on Now everybody's saying our time has gone So it goes & now it's gone You & me we struggle on Please seize these chains that hold us back Let's make it work! The world's upside down & backwards round, yes it is To serve no purpose only profit That brutal? More so: To serve them all days & nights Why, every waking hour! And more besides Some say we're stuck in this life of pain but I maintain we can change it All that we need, we've got it To cut loose from this sham, God damn! Seize these chains that hold us back Others make this a world in crisis - Let's make it work! You & me, we struggle on And so it goes Damn wrong! Seize these chains that hold us back Let's make it work!
