"As The Carousel Swings" lyrics

"As The Carousel Swings"

They've got infinite money
And the people are blind
Everyone is asleep
Or just losing their mind

They don't teach you at school
Or you'd know the score
You'd be living your life
And know what living was for

Guess I'll be guy
That's going to wake you up and open your eyes
I'll slap the fire out of you
I'm getting sick of these lies
And aren't you sick of it all?

Have you forgot how to live?
Is living dragging you down?
Get back up on your feet again
And listen to this sound
Because there's no way home
A home doesn't exist

And living today
Can tear you apart
The things that they say
They'll rip out your heart
Makes you feel all alone
And yet you got to go on
You're so far from home, yeah
And your home is gone
