"Trying To Keep The Lights On" lyrics
"Trying To Keep The Lights On"
Days get dark and the nights get long
And I just keep wakin' up to the same old song
And that same voice in my head that's always runnin' around
Whoa now
The clock tick tock and the whole world stops
But the bills I got they just keep on pilin' up
Tryna keep up
Keepin' up is kinda gettin' me down
You see I'm just one in seven billion
Tryin' to keep the lights on
Tryin' to keep the lights on
Tryin' to keep the lights on
Tryin' to keep the lights on
Oh now
You and me are the same you see
We got big big plans and big big dreams
And I'm never gonna let the world ever take em away
Whoa now
You and me and the whole family
We gonna fill our bus with the love we got in us
Pull it out of the driveway
And fly away
You see I'm just one in seven billion
Tryin' to keep the lights on
Tryin' to keep the lights on
Tryin' to keep the lights on
Tryin' to keep the lights on
Oh now
Dollars turn to dust
And I just hold my hope there's one more life
My heart is broke but I ain't broken down, see I'm
Tryin' to keep the lights on
Tryin' to keep the lights on
Tryin' to keep the lights on
Tryin' to keep the lights on
Whoa my heart is heavy but
Whoa I'm in heaven like
Whoa my heart is heavy but
Whoa I'm in heaven with you
Tryin' to keep the lights on
Tryin' to keep the lights on
Tryin' to keep the lights on
Tryin' to keep the lights on
I'm tryin' to keep the lights on
I'm tryin' to keep the lights on
I'm tryin' to keep the lights on
I'm tryin' to keep the lights on
Keep the lights on

For profits alone

It's how they always been and they intend to stay.
I can't explain why we live this way.
