lyrics

I can promise you it's not that easy waking up every fucking day
At the mercy of time and chance, just a matter of skill and will.
I try to believe we got a meaning, some kind of destiny to fulfill.
We got to realize a few things.
Time is never standing still. (x2)

You try to want it but you got to need it.
I tried to want it but I learned to need it.

Another hand out looking for a handout in a world made safe for the weak.
You're taking the sport away, punish anyone trying to survive.
Who's lending the hand that's here to help you, paralyzing all of our hearts and minds.
We're not owed a god damn thing.
There's no trophy here this time. (x2)

You try to want it but you got to need it.
I tried to want it but I learned to need it.

Laying down a sacrifice, my own life.
I find myself needing to do just what I'm told.

You try to want it but you got to need it.
I tried to want it but I learned to need it. (x3)
