Heaven 17 - Giving Up Lyrics

Heaven 17 Lyrics

"Giving Up"

When I was young
I was told what to want
I've got a wife and babies too
Oh I've tried so hard
But all my feelings have gone
So have no wife and money too

So I'm giving up
Time for easy action
No I'm giving up
I'm gonna do what I want

I always worked
To try envy part of the scheme of things
One week's work for one week's pay
Oh I find it hard
The party lines not so easy
So I'm heading up and moving out

Giving up
It's a cool reaction
Oh I'll give it up
Don't want to fight no more

Giving up
Time for easy action

There's always been a feeling
Deep down inside of me
I don't care at all
I'm off the wall

Giving up
Time for easy action
Oh I'm giving up
I'm gonna do just what I want
Giving up
It's a cool reaction
Oh I'm giving up
I don't want to fight no more

Giving up
Time for easy action
Giving up
What I wanted once before
Giving up
It's a cool reaction
Giving up
I shall overcome
