Mike Tramp - More To Life Than This lyrics

rate me

Johnnie's got a gun<br />

And it's pointed at the world<br />

Another angry young man<br />

Waiting to explode<br />

He didn't choose this life<br />

But it's what he got<br />

On the edge of a knife<br />

He didn't find much love<br />

Now he sits in the doorway looking down hell<br />

Nothing to say no one to tell<br />

They didn't believe him he said they would pay<br />

So many young lives wasted away<br />

<br />

But there's got to be more to life than this<br />

A so called reason why we exist<br />

A better way to tell us<br />

Why we live and die<br />

It's got to be justice for everyone<br />

Freedom for all under the Sun<br />

A better way to show us<br />

Why we live or die<br />

<br />

Charlie's got a farm<br />

That his father built<br />

But he ain't growing much<br />

But a stack of bills<br />

It didn't rain for years<br />

And all his cattle died<br />

But banks don't care for tears<br />

Or how hard you tried<br />

You end up dying before you have lived<br />

The future wasted the end up ahead<br />

He took down his shotgun straight to his head<br />

Young Charlie farmer lay dead on his bed<br />

<br />

But there's got to be more to life than this<br />

So called reason why we exist<br />

Better way to tell us why we live and die<br />

It's gotta be justice for everyone<br />

Freedom for all under the Sun<br />

A better way to show us why we live or die<br />

<br />

Billy was a rock n' roll star<br />

But it was so long ago<br />

Everyone knew his guitar<br />

When they heard it on the radio<br />

He had a million dollar mansion<br />

Up in the Hollywood hills<br />

Used to throw the best damn parties<br />

With hookers, alcohol and pills<br />

But then his long hair got thinner<br />

And his Ferrari repossessed<br />

IRS took the mansion<br />

So he went back to his ex-girlfriend's bed<br />

MTV didn't want him<br />

They said that rock n' roll is dead<br />

No one took his phone calls<br />

They had all forgotten his name<br />

Somewhere in Texas the story ends<br />

Billy's broken without any friends<br />

From fame and fortune to where are they now<br />

This curtain call was his final bow<br />

<br />

But there's gotta be more to life than this<br />

So called reason why we exist<br />

A better way to tell us why we live and die<br />

It's gotta be justice for everyone<br />

Freedom for all under the Sun<br />

A better way to show us why we live or die<br />

It's got to be more to life than this<br />

So called reason why we exist<br />

A better way to tell us why we live and die<br />

It's got to be justice for everyone<br />

Freedom for all under the Sun<br />

A better way to show us why we live or die
