Story Behind the Song
Lyrics written about the control that society commands people's lives. The music came afterwards.
Lyrics
Fifty people walkin' the streets,
Hands coverin' their face.
Can't keep up the beat,
Gettin' lost in the race.
I know it's true,
what they did to you.
You used to be cool,
Then things began to change.
You started keepin' all the rules,
Seems your mind's deranged.
Gimme some lovin',
you're not the same within.
Take us when we're young,
When the strings are loose.
No attachments hung,
It's an open noose.
I remember a time,
No worries, no cares at all.
Now you've forgotten your rhyme,
Expectations, they're too tall.
No more communication,
The breakdown of your mind.
Lost all your relation,
Goin' forward, but fallin' behind.
All alone, sittin', wonderin' about the past.
All alone, waitin' for the future to come.
Life's givin' me troubles,
I can't deal with them now.
Where are you goin' babe,
Can't follow you there . . .
But somehow you've already changed.
You let them into your soul,
Let them hold onto your life.
Into somethin' they say good,
But babe, that's not you.
Why don't you stay with me,
Your life will be worth much more.
