I won´t be broken by the pounding of this world machine
I´ve got to follow through, on a lifetime´s dream
I´m choking from the tightening of this endless red tape

But I´m prepared to wait, till the day it breaks

You might slow me down a little, but it´s only ever going to mean
That it takes a little longer to realise the dream
And this vision just gets stronger through adversity
But nothing on this earth will ever stop me

But we´re still tearing the good things down
Still throwing it all away
I used to love this town
Not anymore, not today

We are sending the good guys out
We should be making the bad ones pay
When money´s the only sound

Anyone hears today

I lost my woman to a sinner with a bigger car
You know he talked real clever, "say you don´t have to stay where you are"
That´s when I knew I´d lost before I´d even started to fight
But I believe in waiting till she comes home at night

But we´re still tearing the good things down
Still throwing it all away
I used to love this town
Not anymore, not today

When we are sending the good guys out
Why aren´t we making the bad ones pay
When money´s the only sound

Anyone´s hearing today

And I know I didn´t always think about you
I was busy taking on the world you said
If I´d only taken time out to be there for you
I wonder how a different ending might have read
