Lyrics
When I was a boy
My mother said "be careful, son the dreams in your head that you keep when you drift off to sleep satisfy but they won't get you by."
Even as a man
My father pleads "son, understand the schemes that run wild in your leave your future for dead in our eyes and they won't get you by."
You're living a lie
Hear what I say
You're wasting away
Standing here my head is reeling
I can't control the way I'm feeling
Mother, father please forgive me
For the way I'm living
When I was a boy
My mother said "be careful, son the dreams in your head that you keep when you drift off to sleep satisfy but they won't get you by."
You're living a lie
Hear what I say
You're wasting away
They won't get you by
You're living a lie
Hear what I say
You're wasting away
