Sunrise Over Steeltown (Live)

Stop
What got us into this mess?
I'm thinking happy thoughts
Is it 5 o'clock yet?
How much more sweat is enough to get ahead
In a world that tries to take you down?

Stop
What got us into this mess?
I'm thinking happy thoughts
Is it 5 o'clock yet?
How much more sweat is enough to get ahead
In a world that tries to take you down?

I watch the smoke rise
Another sun rise over steel town
Presents buildings with their golden crowns
I breathe in life with the smoke in my lungs
I'm still so young, but this world has got me feeling done
I let the ashes blow in the wind
When there's nothing left of us
Tell me where will we begin?
If smoking this can bring a grin
Then what more will it take
To find happiness
And what difference will it make?

So throw my ashes to the wind
If I don't make it to the end
How can they say that there's a difference after then?

When I carry on for hours
How better to waste my day
Take what I learned
Stay focused and waste away
I'll waste five whole years until this pictures coming clear
For what it's worth I'll stay on top until that day is here
When I'll be rocking it sooner or later to be topping it
I wander through this life sometimes like I am lost in it
And all those times that I felt like giving up
Made me stronger and last longer than I ever even thought

So throw my ashes to the wind
If I don't make it to the end
How can they say that there's a difference after then?
So this is the living end
Take what you can get, get what you give
It only lasts as long as you remember it
These guitars bear the scars of songs we wrote
Through pure emotion, note by note
The ringing of strings is all we've known
Captivated by the words that bring us home

Stop
What got us into this mess
It's another late night, another half-written chorus
I breathe in life with the smoke in my lungs
And I know before the sunrise that we'll get this shit done
We carry on, we're not there yet
We got a rhyme, got a reason but its all we can get
So what is it worth to forget these years
'Cause you're buried in the earth, collecting tears

So throw my ashes to the wind
If I don't make it to the end
How can they say that there's a difference after then?
So this is the living end
Take what you can get, get what you give
It only lasts as long as you remember it
These guitars bear the scars of songs we wrote
Through pure emotion, note by note
The ringing of strings is all we've known
Captivated by the words that bring us home

Stop
What got us into this mess?
I'm thinking happy thoughts
Is it 5 o'clock yet?
How much more sweat is enough to get ahead
In a world that tries to take you down?

Stop
