Living A Lie

I hear him sing when he spits through his teeth
He's laughing at himself, he's dying for belief
There are words he says I can barely pronounce
He says: "Yeah, I'm so Amsterdam, I'm so proud"

But I'm walking merely to keep the peace
Past historic names that are only for the streets
I get damaged and it's dazzling me
What a time to be cruel, what a time to be free

I'm living the life
Living the life
You don't wanna say that you're living a lie

It was a way I thought, did my best to amuse
And change for the man, my comforting view
I could never do that, again and again
But it's not how it looks, it's the end of the pen

We're living the life
Living the life
You don't wanna say that you're living a lie

Living the life
Living the life
You don't wanna say that you're living a lie

Don't you dare lose yourself
Don't change your head
Don't let your lies beat your health
And if you figure it out
You'll never be sorry that your time runs out
So live a lot
Live a lot
I'm sure you can't be helped

Oh, you eat when you're hungry, you drink when you're dry
'Cause there's money on your card and religion when you die
You're living the life
You're living as high as bright blessed nights under clouds of white

And when you don't look, there is nothing to see
If you don't touch the bars, you are always set free
You are willing to die but not to live
Come on, you coward
There's no such thing as a gift
Come go

Living the life
Living the life

Don't you dare lose yourself
Don't change your head
Don't let your lies beat your health
And if you figure it out
You'll never be sorry that your time runs out
So live a lot
Live a lot
Oh, surely now you're getting over
Don't you dare lose yourself
What you would do could not be helped

Time is up, so close to me
Surely now you're getting over I believe it's time and time again
I tell myself I'm starting over

Time is up, as you can see
Surely now it won't go nowhere I believe it's time and time again

Don't you dare lose yourself
Don't change your head
Don't let your lies beat your health
And if you figure it out
You'll never be sorry that your time is running out
So live a lot
Live a lot
Oh, surely now you get it, don't ya
Live a lot
Live a lot
I'm sure you can't be helped
