Dying since the day we are born

Your heart is tattered
and your soul is torn
You want the love
but you can't ride out the storm

It's true,       You've
been dyin' since the day    you were born

I know    its been rough
and there's nowhere you can hide
I won't say you've lost
but    you can't find   your pride
It's time to start living
just so's you can say
you tried

Get a life
find a pet
love your wife
place a bet
change a lightbulb
for someone
who can't

write a book
and crack a joke
paint a picture
and fix what's broke

Your money isn't
any good here    anyway

truth is   your money
isn't good anywhere   they say

Money isn't worth  the price
you here    you'll pay

so let us not shed a tear  
and get our asses in gear  today
and enjoy       our
broken lives       anyway

Been dyin since the day we are born
I met you, now I am living
 like I won a war
It's peaceful    in the eye     of the storm
and i am sorry    for those who don't have      what I have
to fight or let go for

dying since the day we are born
