a penny in my pocket   is all I have left   from a fortune made    out of time, problems, and regret      a picture in my wallet   is all I have left   from a relationship made   out of love, trust, and respect      I have nothing in my hands   and that signifies the truth   and shows, what is left   of my shattered youth      am I a man   I can not say   am I alive   No, not today      I've been around for 19 years   never shedding any tears      I've heard the story many times   always ending with the same crime      I started out without a dime   now time is running thin   I've tried to stand for something   something I believe in      (chorus)   to be alive   makes me mad   to be in love   is just a fad   to see things happen    before your eyes   things that never happen twice   is not so bad      I've seen winners come and go   and seen time take it's toll      I've seen man hide behind a mask   and fail to accomplish the simplest task      I've seen a bird swerve into a car   I've seen a shooting star   I've seen life from afar   I've seen it all      so what do you see in me, A boy, A man, am I a wannabe    do you have faith in me, or am I lost    what I see in you, is nothing but a lie    something to hide behind and die,    why are you fighting for wrong cause      nothing works out the way that you plan   nothing works out the way that you plan
