AMERICA - LIVING ISN'T REALLY GIVING lyrics

rate me

Author unknown (sung by Dewey Bunnell)

Found on Heard.

Oh, I wish that I could find the reason why

Living isn't really giving

Oh, I wish that I could find the reason why

Living isn't really giving

But I don't care how long it takes

For the days to get nice

'Cause me and my friends, you know we're ready

And willing to pay the price

Oh, la la la ....

Way deep down inside

I know I'm on a free ride

But when the green light turns to red

Who is living, who is dead

They've taken out the river

And they've put in a cement road

It's made the going a whole lot lighter

But made a much heavier load

I don't know how long I can go on like this

Don't know how long I can go on like this

Don't know how long I can go on like this

I see the light switch on the wall

With no legs I'm still tall

We might not make it at all

I can see the river and the little place where I would swim

Where did it all begin

I wish I knew

Oh, I wish that I could find the reason why

Living isn't really giving

Isn't really giving

Isn't really giving
