I'm Not Made That Way
There are men who've climbed their mountains
At the top they start shouting
The dream of their victories
Might make a ton of money
So much it ain't funny
Paying down on a life of ease
But when greed takes the place
Of loving the human race
Cashing checks and losing friends
When it's all about winning
Always take and never giving
Someone going to (?) in
I'm not made that way
I'm not made that way
(Made that way)
When you live for the gold
The price could be your soul
'Cause I'm not made that way
Down bended knees I'm learning to say please
I'm thankful for the gifts I got
(you know I'm thankful)
Crucifix above me showing how much he love me
I cry for every crimson drop
But when temples doors stay bolted
To my sisters and brothers
For the way they call the lord (they call the lord)
And if it's the grace you find
To keep to just your kind
Tell me who are you praying for?
I'm not made that way
No, I'm not made that way
I thank the lord up above
That's not what I'm made of
'Cause I'm not made that way
I got no right to judge
(No no no)
That's what the wise men say
But when wrong becomes the right
I'm gonna speak my mind
I'm gonna stand and fight
Oh yeah
Now when the world is in a tangle
So many are able
To pitch in with a helping hand
But that was just a lot of talking
Not enough will do the walking
To help each other when we can
I'm not made that way
I'm not made that way
I know we're better than this
Let's stop being selfish
'Cause I'm not made that way
Well I'm not made that way
I'm not made that way
I'm not made that way
Long as my heart keeps beating
I will keep repeating
'Cause I'm not made that way
Ah oh let me tell you
Oh I'm not made that way
I'm not made that way
I'm not made that way
I'm not made that way
I'm not made that way
Ooh
I'm not made that way
I'm not made that way
I'm not made that way
Oh I'm not made that way
I'm not made that way
Oh oh yeah
At the top they start shouting
The dream of their victories
Might make a ton of money
So much it ain't funny
Paying down on a life of ease
But when greed takes the place
Of loving the human race
Cashing checks and losing friends
When it's all about winning
Always take and never giving
Someone going to (?) in
I'm not made that way
I'm not made that way
(Made that way)
When you live for the gold
The price could be your soul
'Cause I'm not made that way
Down bended knees I'm learning to say please
I'm thankful for the gifts I got

Ooh
I'm not made that way
I'm not made that way
I'm not made that way
Oh I'm not made that way
I'm not made that way
Oh oh yeah
