INTRO
Everyone wants to live the good life,
But what is life?
What is it that we live for?
What makes us get up in the morning?
What keeps us going when things get tough?
I know I'd sure like to find out
Verse 1
A victim of society, can't take this anxiety/
Seems like a kid gets made fun of for sobriety/
I used to have fun, just hangin out with my friends/
Too bad I didn't know, that it would soon come to an end/
I used to think I was cool, that people liked my company/
But behind my back, they just laughed and made fun of me/
What good is kindness to my face, if there's a knife in my back?/
I was constantly facin a vicious verbal stealth attack/
So I stopped callin em, and soon I stop carin/
And when people ask how I'm doin, I don't feel like sharin/
The only time I get calls is when they need somethin from me/
What makes me think I'm more than some worthless dummy?/
I try to find happiness where I never checked before/
But it just ends up hurting my self esteem more/
I don't think I can go on with this fake life much longer/
It's too much to take, I need to be stronger/
CHORUS
Life is drivin in a new car/
Life is chillin, puffin on a cigar/
Life is what you share with your friends/
Life is what you have and you never want to end/
Life is wil'in out, and gettin real crazy/
Life is settlin down, and raisin a family/
Life is more than just a constant struggle to survive/
Sometimes I ask myself, Am I alive?
Verse 2
Sittin in his room on a Friday night drinkin/
What's become of his life? It's got him thinkin/
The good times he's had have just come to and end/
Thought things were lookin up, that life was on the mend/
But the people he called friends just wouldn't have it/
So they decided to kick him out like a bad habit/
Like roger rabbit, just a cartoon in the real world/
Gettin acid spit at him that could make steel curl/
And he still held his tongue, didn't want to offend/
Tired and beaten down, got nothin left to defend/
Ready to give up on life, he's had enough/
Ready to pick up his knife, it's just too tough/
Can't take the pain of livin for one more day/
But he's gotta hold on, today could be the day/
Waitin for someone to say the words he needs to hear/
That he means the world to them, and they want him near/
CHORUS
Life is drivin in a new car/
Life is chillin, puffin on a cigar/
Life is what you share with your friends/
Life is what you have and you never want to end/
Life is wil'in out, and gettin real crazy/
Life is settlin down, and raisin a family/
Life is more than just a constant struggle to survive/
Sometimes I ask myself, Am I alive?
Verse 3
And now you're thinkin, what did I do to him?/
Can't help but wonder, was I that cruel to him?/
Maybe it couldn't be helped, he was meant to be abused/
His kind nature just set him up to be misused/
Nice guys don't finish last, they don't finish at all/
That's if they can even get started before they fall/
It's not worth it at all, you just made things worse/
By the time you tried to help, you already put him in a hearse/
It's not that he was fragile, he just wasn't made of steel/
And it's not the abuse, it's what he didn't feel/
He felt no love, felt like no one cared/
He wanted to cry for help, but he never dared/
Ensnared in his life, like living in constant rain/
He was the toughest of all, to endure the constant pain/
Now what can you do to help this troubled guy?/
Let him know he's important, and make sure it's not a lie/
CHORUS
Life is drivin in a new car/
Life is chillin, puffin on a cigar/
Life is what you share with your friends/
Life is what you have and you never want to end/
Life is wil'in out, and gettin real crazy/
Life is settlin down, and raisin a family/
Life is more than just a constant struggle to survive/
Sometimes I ask myself, Am I alive?
