Текст песни Live This Way - Atlas & Oracle feat. Lumpy

I get up
And get my day started
You know there's no reprieve for the open-hearted
I set up shot but I'm feeling brittle
You know what I mean,
When you're just stuck in the middle
Uh-oh, I'm feeling small
I never wanted you to see me like this at all
Then I'm feeling guilty when I'm feeling better
I should just feel lucky I can afford bread

But no
We don't have to live this way
We're so broken and ashamed
Of all the things that we're afraid
That we're too afraid to say

Another year and I'm no bolder
Is this just the part where I am getting older
But never growing up?
A part of my is bitter, at myself (Got a)
Lot to do 'fore it's all over
They say I should be getting sober
Guess I'll go to work so I can do my taxes
I should just feel lucky I can afford gas

But no
When the world's holding you back
You must stay on the attack
I'm telling you that there's a way
There's a way through all this pain

I look around, I look around
And all the people I see are hurting
And they are also burning for release
Some have been waiting for so long
They can hardly speak
Seems nobody's winnin'
Some say it's justified
Some say we deserve to lose
And to keep on crying
But fuck that, keep on fighting
They say that we'll never be winning
But if that's true, I'll go down swinging
You know that life comes at you fast
Take a breath if you can't relax
Just remember to take care of your brain
And I'll try to do the same (We don't have to live this way)

We don't have to live this way
Every day we do just brings us
One step closer to the grave
So it's time that we fought back
When the world's on the attack
We must hold the line
And change the writing that's been on the wall
Since all of us were small
