Stop this living…
I've been looking for trouble
Tryin' I stood right up
In a world of make believe
It's fun to play with the dice
And shake the cup yeah
I've been looking for trouble
Because no more does
The squeeze and pinch
Tell me I'm alive
I need something stronger
To break these dreams
Melt the glue from my eyes
It's the ways of the working,
The ways of the working mill
You say «If you find you're not a winner
You might as well stop trying»
I say «No if I ever stop trying
I might as well stop this living»
All you people, you know who
Nine to five, or seven to eleven
Doesn't really matter what you do
To pay the bills and see it through
Another of that stream's
You part of the parade
So smile smile you're on camera
You can try and climb,
You'll be lucky to hang on
It's the ways of the working
Ways of the working mill
You say “If you find you're not a winner
You might as well stop trying”
I say “No if I ever stop trying
I might as well stop this living”
The passage ways
Of my mind I search
Under candle light
Forbidden truth
A hidden book
Has everyone lost their minds?
Minds, oh yeah
[2x:]
You say “If you find you're not a winner
You might as well stop trying”
I say “No if I ever stop trying
I might as well stop this living”
