lyrics
Well I asked my friendliest neighbor
To retrace a few years back in my shoes
And to do for me some of the things
That he swore he'd do for you
And he said you've racked up quite some debt
And you've developed a nasty curse
It hangs on your head each and every day
And it's only gettin' worse
And he asked, "Do you really wanna join that fate?"
And I said, "I want nothing more,"
"I would gladly carry that burden
If it would provide me the pleasure I've been searchin' for"
All my life, all my life, all my life long
We've all been livin' in
The excess of our youth
And we hide from the crippling burden
That our lives are being consumed
We stare at the broken housewife
Cleaning dishes that have not been used
As her kids run off to college
And her man drinks away his blues
But I swear I won't be that man
I know I won't be that man Whoa Oh
Or maybe I will.
All my life, all my life, all my life long.
To retrace a few years back in my shoes
And to do for me some of the things
That he swore he'd do for you
And he said you've racked up quite some debt
And you've developed a nasty curse
It hangs on your head each and every day
And it's only gettin' worse
And he asked, "Do you really wanna join that fate?"
And I said, "I want nothing more,"
"I would gladly carry that burden
If it would provide me the pleasure I've been searchin' for"
All my life, all my life, all my life long
We've all been livin' in
The excess of our youth
And we hide from the crippling burden
That our lives are being consumed
We stare at the broken housewife
Cleaning dishes that have not been used
As her kids run off to college
And her man drinks away his blues
But I swear I won't be that man
I know I won't be that man Whoa Oh
Or maybe I will.
All my life, all my life, all my life long.
