Lyrics I Was Told - Rhino Bucket, Simon Wright

I Was Told

I get up in the morning and I work all day
I come home late at night and I sleep life away
There’s nothing I can do, it’s the way of the world
I was told
I’ve spent fourteen years at the job I got
I’ll spend fourteen more till I’ve done my lot
There’s nothing I can do, it’s the way of the world
There’s nothing I can do, it’s the way of the world
I was told and I heard what was said
I was told, I listened till I was dead
I was told… Yeah, I was told
I’ve spent half my life tryin' to make ends meet
Now I’m half way there but I think I’m beat
There’s nothing I can do, it’s the way of the world
I was told
I look in your eyes and all I see is hate
There once was love but now it’s too late
There’s nothing I can do, it’s the way of the world
There’s nothing I can do, it’s the way of the world
I was told and I heard what was said
I was told, I listened till I was dead
I was told… Yeah, I was told
Never had it easy, but I never had it this damn hard
