Living Isn't Really Giving - America

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
