they'll tell you where you're going   and how you have to get there      what they won't tell you   is that you're working for pennies a day      and you'll work your life away   so they can live their own   they're at the top   we're at the bottom fighting for our homes      i'm in for the long run   i'm in for the day   i'm in for the time, though people say   "are you going to stay this way?"   i'm in for the life   that i choose to live   if that makes me so unusual   it makes everyone else look all the same (yeah)      the grass is always greener on the opposite side   by the time you get there, you wish you hadn't half of the time      it seems so illogicial that we choose to hurt ourselves   but given the choice, you did what anyone would   who was fighting for their home      i'm in for the long run   i'm in for the day   i'm in for the time, though people say   "are you going to stay this way?"   i'm in for the life   that i choose to live   if that makes me so unusual   it makes everyone else look all the same (yeah)      (it makes them look the same)      well i guess i must be going   i've got better things to do   then sit around all day and hate the world      i guess i should be learning   that wishes don't come true   it takes a lot of work to just pull through      when you've had enough to make you quit   you just have to keep holding on (holding on)      i'm in for the long run   i'm in for the day   i'm in for the time, though people say   "are you going to stay this way?"   i'm in for the life   that i choose to live   if that makes me so unusual   it makes everyone else look all the same (yeah)
