Slave To The System

All I know, in a way, that I am still a child
In my days I've fallen down, time and time again
In my days I've come a long way down from flying
And I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of looking for a way to come around
On and on we live our lives
Floating in these compromises
Down the river hear it ring
All the music we can sing
(Love) to live this life
(Love) to live this life
Now I know that I'm sane and in denial
Did not know that the name of the game is sorrow
In my dreams will it ever be the same
On and on it seems to be
So hard for us to see
Down the river hear it bring
All the music we can sing
(Love) to live this life
(Love) out here in the cold
Ride the wave the daylight's growing old
No, I'm drownin' in the rain and burnin' in the sun (oh)
