Ways of the World

I hear you're looking for a reason They've been running you around And if you're looking for some peace, man You know that we can help you out You say you're tired of working And getting nothing in return You're living life for the weekend It's setting in, starting to burn Well let me tell you about the ways of the world Sometimes you do exactly as you're told Not all that glitters is made of gold But take a risk even though it may seem You'll never make it, like it's just a daydream One day you're living the reality You say you wake up every morning Like you got a million more to go Well if you're waiting for a warning I'll tell you something you should know This could be your last sunrise You gotta try to make it shine You won't believe how the time flies And if you're still afraid of what you'll find... Well let me tell you about the ways of the world Sometimes you do exactly as you're told Not all that glitters is made of gold But take a risk even though it may seem You'll never make it, like it's just a daydream One day you're living the reality I know you really don't think it can be But you gotta believe me Don't shut your eyes so tight, you can't see I know you really don't think it can be But you gotta believe me Don't shut your eyes so tight, you can't see And I know it's never easy Well let me tell you about the ways of the world Sometimes you do exactly as you're told Not all that glitters is made of gold But take a risk even though it may seem You'll never make it, like it's just a daydream One day you're living the reality
