they'll tell you where you're going
and how you have to get there
what they won't tell you
is that you're working for pennies a day
and you'll work your life away
so they can live their own
they're at the top
we're at the bottom fighting for our homes
i'm in for the long run
i'm in for the day
i'm in for the time, though people say
"are you going to stay this way?"
i'm in for the life
that i choose to live
if that makes me so unusual
it makes everyone else look all the same (yeah)
the grass is always greener on the opposite side
by the time you get there, you wish you hadn't half of the time
it seems so illogicial that we choose to hurt ourselves
but given the choice, you did what anyone would
who was fighting for their home
i'm in for the long run
i'm in for the day
i'm in for the time, though people say
"are you going to stay this way?"
i'm in for the life
that i choose to live
if that makes me so unusual
it makes everyone else look all the same (yeah)
(it makes them look the same)
well i guess i must be going
i've got better things to do
then sit around all day and hate the world
i guess i should be learning
that wishes don't come true
it takes a lot of work to just pull through
when you've had enough to make you quit
you just have to keep holding on (holding on)
i'm in for the long run
i'm in for the day
i'm in for the time, though people say
"are you going to stay this way?"
i'm in for the life
that i choose to live
if that makes me so unusual
it makes everyone else look all the same (yeah)
