SOMETIMES I THINK YOU'RE LAZY,
YOU WANTING TO RUN AWAY
WHERE'S THE HOPE IF YOU SEE THE PROBLEM
AND YOU CHOOSE NOT TO STAY?
I CAN'T DENY THE CURTAINS FALLING
AND THE COLORS TURNED TO BLUE
BUT I GUESS IF I'M NOT LEAVING
I THINK YOU SHOULD STAY TOO

DON'T YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T RUN FOREVER
BUT IT'S YOUR RIGHT TO GO AND TRY
FORGET THE NEED FOR ANSWERS
AND THE NEED FOR REASONS WHY
BUY YOURSELF YOUR SOLITUDE
BOLT AND LOCK UP ALL THE DOORS
BUT REMEMBER IF IT FALLS APART HERE
THE FLOOD WILL STILL BE AT YOUR DOOR


CHORUS:
YOU NEVER GET NOTHING
FROM DOING NOTHING IT'S TRUE
PUSH AWAY THE SHADOWS
CHASE AWAY THE DARKNESS AND BLUES
CHANGE FIRST WITH TRUTH



I CAN UNDERSTAND FRUSTRATION
IT TWISTS LIVES UNUSUAL WAYS
AND I DON'T CALL IT FREEDOM
STICKING DREAMS BACK DAY BY DAY
BUT YOU IF YOU GOTTA WORK FOR THAT DOLLAR
YES YOU GOTTA HAVE YOUR PAY
JUST REMEMBER IF YOU HAVE TO GIVE UP MUCH
YOU STILL GOTTA DEBT TO PAY

CHORUS:
YOU NEVER GET NOTHING
FROM DOING NOTHING IT'S TRUE
PUSH AWAY THE SHADOWS
CHASE AWAY THE DARKNESS AND BLUES
CHANGE FIRST WITH TRUTH
