America - Living Isn`t Really Giving

Oh, I wish that I could find the reason why
Living isn`t really giving
Oh, I wish that I could find the reason why
Living isn`t really giving

But I don`t care how long it takes
For the days to get nice
`Cause me and my friends, you know we`re ready
And willing to pay the price

Oh, la la la ....

Way deep down inside
I know I`m on a free ride
But when the green light turns to red
Who is living, who is dead

They`ve taken out the river
And they`ve put in a cement road
It`s made the going a whole lot lighter
But made a much heavier load

I don`t know how long I can go on like this
Don`t know how long I can go on like this
Don`t know how long I can go on like this

I see the light switch on the wall
With no legs I`m still tall
We might not make it at all
I can see the river and the little place where I would swim
Where did it all begin
I wish I knew

Oh, I wish that I could find the reason why
Living isn`t really giving
Isn`t really giving
Isn`t really giving
