So when the music's stoppin', there's no more knockin' or kickin' down my door Ain't no need for changin' or rearragin', the life we have endure All this foolish ways with this hopeless strays keep you comin' back for more All the time you hear it: it's over, it's over I really must have lost my mind Wasn't me who wasn't hard to find Six strings on my back always lookin' for the next track Thinkin' bout the old hood always up to no good When you gonna realize that we're livin' like we're hypnotized By the sound that you hear when the music's over Time's runnin' out, can't you see it's for you When you're down and out nobody open their mouth No one ever come around on your way When you're on the top of the world every man and every girl wanna come and get some shit for free When you're sittin' on the corner no one ever gonna pay you any mind that day You're just sittin' outside gettin' colder Not long ago when you wasn't that old now look at you are old and gray Like a piece of your mind that was stolen in time, never listened what nobody say The reason every day is not a holiday, because the government they steal your pay Was a dream, but it's already over Won't someone get us out of here I'm alive but I can't feel Cannot tell what's reality Cannot tell what is and what isn't real
