"Start Living" lyrics

When I was young, I used to give it away
I used to open my mouth without nothing to say
To get by without a buck in the bank
I'm just a slave to the dollar every night and day
I don't know if I can carry the weight
Soon as the check comes in, I've got bills to pay
Now that I'm older, I've been making some changes
But the whole world stays the same
Hey!

Ooh, ooh
You get what you're given
The hand that you're holding knows no limit
Ooh, ooh
You get what you're given
It's your hand to hold, you better
Start living!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Start living!
Hey! Hey! Hey!

I can't shake it anywhere I go
I've been alone so long, I need somebody to hold
From town to town and baby coast to coast
From Jackson Mississippi down to Mexico
I've been looking for somebody to blame
But ain't nobody but me is ever holding the blade
Now that I'm older, I've been making some changes
But the whole world stays the same
Hey!

Ooh, ooh
You get what you're given
The hand that you're holding knows no limit
Ooh, ooh
You get what you're given
It's your hand to hold, you better
Start living!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Start living!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Start living!

Start living!
Start living!

Ooh, ooh
You get what you're given
Ooh, ooh
You get what you're given
You get what you're given
Start living!

Ooh, ooh
You get what you're given
The hand that you're holding knows no limit
Ooh, ooh
You get what you're given
It's your hand to hold, you better
Start living!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Start living!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Start living!
