Lyrics
When the world is feelin' cold
And dirty lies are bein' told
It's tough to pay what you owe
When you've sold your mortal soul
Crazy life, not all right
Crazy life, day and night
Crazy life, full of lies
Crazy life, 'til I die
[ chorus ]
All my life, there were times, when I knew
When I knew, there were times, to go on
All my life, I gave up, many times
Many times, when I knew, what to do
When the world has kicked me down
Kicked me out of every town
I found my face in the ground
You showed up with a frown
Where were you yesterday?
Why did you never stay?
Where were you yesterday?
Why did you run away?
[ repeat chorus ]
Where were you yesterday?
Why did you never stay?
Where were you yesterday?
Why did you run away?
Crazy life, not all right
Crazy life, day and night
Crazy life, full of lies
Crazy life, 'til I die
[ repeat chorus ]
