Oh, I wish that I could find the reason why    Living isn't really giving    Oh, I wish that I could find the reason why    Living isn't really giving       But I don't care how long it takes    For the days to get nice    'Cause me and my friends, you know we're ready    And willing to pay the price       Oh, la la la...      Way deep down inside    I know I'm on a free ride    But when the green light turns to red    Who is living, who is dead       They've taken out the river    And they've put in a cement road    It's made the going a whole lot lighter    But made a much heavier load       I don't know how long I can go on like this    Don't know how long I can go on like this    Don't know how long I can go on like this       I see the light switch on the wall    With no legs I'm still tall    We might not make it at all    I can see the river and the little place where I would swim    Where did it all begin    I wish I knew       Oh, I wish that I could find the reason why    Living isn't really giving    Isn't really giving    Isn't really giving
