Bret Michaels – Songs Of Life lyrics

Now look at you all standing proud
Dressed to kill, talking loud
Guitar in your hand
You see sex and violence, love and rage
Still survive in this day and age
And you’re sick about that, go ahead

Life’s gonna take it so break these chains
Come alive, the world's your stage

Love and pain and sacrifice
Flesh and blood all the songs of life
You said I will not go quietly in the night

Now look at you out on the streets
Your mom and dad think you’re a freak
Don’t understand you
You wear your heart on your sleeve
Seems all the people that you meet
They criticize you too

But just stand tall and face the pain
You will not fall for the masquerade

Love and pain and sacrifice
Flesh and blood, all the songs of life
You said I will not go quietly in the night

The losing clowns, that try to drag you down
But stand there, yeah
Your life's getting stranger
You know you can’t change it
Destiny’s a callin’ you, nothing you can do

Now look at you all actin’ strange
I wonder what the winds of change have done to you
Is it what you did or what you seen
Or all the things you could not fix that affected you?
Just you sing in

Love and pain and sacrifice
Flesh and blood, all the songs of life
You said I will not go quietly in the night
Wrong or right

Love and pain and sacrifice
Flesh and blood, all the songs of life
You said I will not go quietly in the night
You got to stand and fight
