Living in a Shadow and
Your thoughts are kind of shallow
Your people planned a pretty good week
And I don't want to hear about
Problems you make up so you can wake up
With something to direct your whole day
And you don't want to know about what you have
And as I stand hear steaming
Inside screaming
Working my young fingers off as you go
On and On
On living off your name
It's all the same when you're
Down, Down, Down, Down in your pocket book
But there's no price for a heart
Maybe I'm an animal trampled under foot
By people thinking that they're something they're not
Oh yeah, you think you got it bad
Picking out a ring cause your daddy buys you
All the things you've never had to live without?
But he could never buy what I have
And with a gentle motion
I cross the ocean
Waves on deck and no respect as you go
On and On, on living off your name
It's all the same when you're
Down, Down, Down, Down in your pocket book
But there's no price for a heart
You're reaching out for a heart
And disconnect from the start
Cause there's no price for a heart
You're there between a dream and another one
I'm here between a rock and a bigger one
Oh I wish that I could show you what it's really like
To earn a dollar for a day to make your own way
To opportunity, look at what they do to me
Acting like a charity case
And who do you need to convince about your worth
When your monied from your birth and
All the papers like the way that you look?
And here I am watching you go
On and On, On living off your name
It's all the same when you're
Down, Down, Down, Down in your pocket book
But there's no price for a heart
You're reaching out for a heart
And disconnect from the start
Cause there's no price for a heart
