lyrics

With the way you treat your lovers
And your hobbies, and your friends
I hope you're writing your whole life off
As another business expense
I know you pride yourself for your freedom
No there ain't nothing tying you down
Nothing to hold you to the tightrope
But the distance from the ground

But don't you get tired of waiting
Don't you get tired of saying
In another world we could be friends
And don't you think we oughta find where that one starts
Or at least where this one ends

And then you're giving up friends over circumstances
Sacrificing love for shame
You lose some good people over conversations
That you didn't want to entertain
Wouldn't want to bother anybody
Shouldn't bother getting out of bed
Managing your risk exposure
You know that life's a common cause of death

But don't you get tired of waiting
Don't you get tired of saying
In another world we could be friends
And don't you think we oughta find where that one starts
Or at least where this one ends

But don't you know the king lives on credit
And all the supermen are levered to the hilt
Well you and I don't have to rule the world
Not today
But a little bit of faith could get us over the hill

But with the way you treat your lovers
And your hobbies and your friends
I hope you're writing your whole life off
As another business expense
Now you could risk it all today
Or you could lose it bit by bit
There never was a guarantee
Just some time and then that's it
