Lyrics For a Lifetime - Mêlée

For a Lifetime

Devils and angels on this old street
22 years and I’m still asleep at home
It’s all that I’ve known
Most of my friends have all moved away
Gone off to college to find their weight in gold
Every day is a lifetime
Back to the beginning again
And we slave for a lifetime, for a lifetime
There’s nothing real on my TV screen
It’s all a network reality
And it shows in our broken home
Most of my friends are all moving back
To a life less certain than yesterday
It’s a backwards step we made
Every day is a lifetime
Back to the beginning again
And we slave for a lifetime, we’ll walk free in the end
Every day is a lifetime
Back to the beginning again
And we slave for a lifetime, for a lifetime
Under the sun
We’re all working hard
Not sure if it will pay
Can you believe
That the last few years left us poor and here today?
Devils and angels on this old street
Now they got the same secrets as you and me
So let’s open our doors
Let’s open our doors, for the world to see
Every day is a lifetime
Back to the beginning again
But we slave for a lifetime, we’ll walk free in the end
Every day is a lifetime
Back to the beginning again
And we slave for a lifetime
Every day is a lifetime, it’s a lifetime under the sun
Every day is a lifetime, it’s a lifetime
