way of life

i've been away from home, was outta sight, no other change has come, who let the boredom in, we got our rockin' rights, we'll overcome, the mirror never lies, we'll show 'em how it's done, we always dress in black, to be unkind, we always dress in black, with you in mind, it's the way of life we live - you know where we are, coming from, it's the way of life we live in - and we're not wrong, 'cause it's the way of life we live - you know where we are, coming from, it's the way of life we live in - we are the strong, we never will deceive, take no double-talk, and all the fat cats bull, don't like the way we walk, they spit behind our backs, unwelcomed class, but it's way down deep, they wanna be like us, time is ticking by, for you life is such a lie, you clipped your wings to fly, you could have had it all - but!, work nine to five, finish fifty-five, only born to die, you ever been alive?
