The sound of noises telling you what you want to hear

It's so hard to think with all them chinese whispers in your ear

Finger on trigger just to get the message clear

Just trying to be me ain't that the reason to why we're here

Back in the day we used to work hard every nine to five

You got to do what you got to do just to stay alive

These days I gonna sit down here 'cause there ain't no use in trying

Trying to say you don't know that you can-do maybe you just lying

Did you mother ever tell you nobody else that can maybe have it but you

And you never say

Everything will always be alright

If you only just make me proud

Then I'll be happy you can, take, me, down ... tonight

They say when you got nothing then you got nothing to lose

It's easy to think like that when we are 'cause of what we chose

Good fortune come my way but I'm tired of feeling blue

I don't want excuse man when it's time to get up and move

Back in the day used to work hard every nine to five

You got to do what you got to do just to stay alive

These days I gonna sit down here 'cause there ain't no use in trying

Trying to say you don't know that you can-do maybe you just lying

Did you mother ever tell you nobody else, that can maybe have it but you

And you never say

Everything will always be alright

If you only just make me proud

Then I'll be happy you can, take, me, down ... tonight

I'm a thousand miles away, calling your game, calling your game

Maybe till broken change, nobody can, nobody can

When all of your cards are down, there's no-one to help you, no-one to blame

In the eyes of defeat, gonna rise to your feet, because you're on your own

Did you mother ever tell you nobody else that can maybe have it but you

And you never say

Everything will always be alright

If you only just make me proud

Then I'll be happy you can, take, me, down
