lyrics

And the lights go on as the belts grow tighter;
It seems more difficult to walk through the fire on your own.
You gotta hold it back when you learn it early on that you can have what you want if you take it away from someone; from somebody else.

Because you try to do the best that you can, but it gets taken away again and again and again; it gets to be tougher to be a person that you respect.

Do you get desperate when you get alone?

And the lights go off and on and off and on.

And the lights go off as the wallets get bigger.
It makes the few good folks left feel sicker and sicker.
You gotta hold it back when time wears thin;
Learn not to get that upset about this sort of thing, and just hope that it all works out.

But hope got trademarked by elected politicians, and now it's so tough to hope without feeling deceptive.

But I believe it's alright to believe it's gonna be alright.
