That's Just The Way It Is Now

Car Lights flash my eyes

Blinded, Hypnotized

Lord knows

I'm livingand

I'm never coming back

Now one generation dies

Next one wins the prizeand that's the big surprisethere's demise in all of their liesit's never to late to realize

That's just the way things arethat's just the way it is now [x2]

I walk through the cemeteryit's all empty

Now I put a roseon the grave of a fallen hero

And I look out into the wild

All I see is emptiness

So much loneliness

I just want forgiveness

That's just the way things arethat's just the way it is now [x2]

When dreams fade away

It won't be long

End up singing the same old song

What went right,

What Went

WrongBad times here,

Good times gone

First rule they always sell

Second rule never tell

Third rule straight to hell

White collar criminals

Living in jailit's all that they gave

Sold your soul to get paid

Buy you end up in an early grave

Your own neck you can't saveit's a letter that you can't sendit's a wound that will never mend

Pain level peaks at ten

Some stand out

Some stand in

That's just the way things arethat's just the way it is now [x2]
