lyrics
Living life in circles, growing old
Making money, love, lost, sold
Doing everything that we're told
Making money, love, lost, sold
Looking around me oh what do I see
People unhappy and longing to be
Making a living, they’re living a lie
Trying to make ends meet, to simple get by
They're working the day and they're working the night
In unearthly hours they keep up the fight
Making a living, they’re living a lie
Trying to make ends meet, to simple get by
Is this what we live for?
Yes, is this what we want?
Is this what we'll stand for?
Forever in front
Wasting our lives
On the old factory floor
Trying to make money then trying,
Trying to make more
Making money and getting paid
But the money makes you its slave
And you know how we all behave
When the more we have yes the more we crave
This is not what I live for
This is not what I want
This is not what I'll stand for
Forever in front
I won't be wasting my life
On the old factory floor
Trying to make money then trying,
Trying to make more
There's one way, therein
The truth of it all
There's one way, therein
The life of the world
There's one way, therein
The truth of it all
There's one way, therein
The life of the world
Yes, this is what I live for
Yes this is what I want
This is what I stand for
Forever in front
This is what I hope for
At the end of the day
That there will be one truth
One hope and one way
Making money, love, lost, sold
Doing everything that we're told
Making money, love, lost, sold
Looking around me oh what do I see
People unhappy and longing to be
Making a living, they’re living a lie
Trying to make ends meet, to simple get by
They're working the day and they're working the night
In unearthly hours they keep up the fight
Making a living, they’re living a lie
Trying to make ends meet, to simple get by
Is this what we live for?
Yes, is this what we want?
Is this what we'll stand for?
Forever in front
Wasting our lives
On the old factory floor
Trying to make money then trying,
Trying to make more
Making money and getting paid
But the money makes you its slave
And you know how we all behave
When the more we have yes the more we crave
This is not what I live for
This is not what I want
This is not what I'll stand for
Forever in front
I won't be wasting my life
On the old factory floor
Trying to make money then trying,
Trying to make more
There's one way, therein
The truth of it all
There's one way, therein
The life of the world
There's one way, therein
The truth of it all
There's one way, therein
The life of the world
Yes, this is what I live for
Yes this is what I want
This is what I stand for
Forever in front
This is what I hope for
At the end of the day
That there will be one truth
One hope and one way
