And still you won't take off your sunglasses
I know what you're thinking
You think the kids don't care
And you're defeated
And the rain comes
And the rain goes again
And you see this as some symbol of your pain
This hungry life won't let you out whole
But you can change a thing or two
Before you go
This hungry life
Might not leave you with much
But you can change your story
And throw a hand up from the mud
Night falls and the rain comes
And the rain goes
And the moon is a stain when you've lost something
And you wait and you wait
And you wait
For the end or the girl or the song
Or the boy or the faith
Or the leader who won't bring you shame
And you wait and you wait
And you wait
This hungry life won't let you out whole
But you can change a thing or two
Before you go
This hungry life
Might not leave you with much
But you can change your story
And throw a hand up from the mud
This hungry life won't let you out whole
But you can change a thing or two
Before you go
This hungry life
Might not leave you with much
Kick up some dust
Earn someone's trust
Leave a few words behind you
If you must
Pick a good fight
And keep someone up all night
Change the story, change the story
Night falls and the light fades And still you won't take off your sunglasses I know what you're thinking You think the kids don't care And you're defeated And the rain comes And the rain goes again And you see this as some symbol of your pain This hungry life won't let you out whole But you can change a thing or two Before you go This hungry life Might not leave you with much But you can change your story And throw a hand up from the mud Night falls and the rain comes And the rain goes And the moon is a stain when you've lost something And you wait and you wait And you wait For the end or the girl or the song Or the boy or the faith Or the leader who won't bring you shame And you wait and you wait And you wait This hungry life won't let you out whole But you can change a thing or two Before you go This hungry life Might not leave you with much But you can change your story And throw a hand up from the mud This hungry life won't let you out whole But you can change a thing or two Before you go This hungry life Might not leave you with much Kick up some dust Earn someone's trust Leave a few words behind you If you must Pick a good fight And keep someone up all night Change the story, change the story Explain Request ×
