Lyrics In The End - Sheryl Crow

In The End

There’s a fly on the wall in the house on the hill
Where the king of the world watches TV
And the people all wait for his latest mandate
To a nation of angry believers
His words are a drug while his loyal band of thugs
Cover up all his many transgressions
The fly lands on his ear and whispers, «What's there to fear
As long as you’re still the obsession?»
Is it too late to turn back now?
Too late to see the light?
Do you think about Heaven and Hell?
When you wake up at night, do you ask yourself?
In the end, did you feed them?
How’d you treat them?
Is it so hard to love?
In the end, like you mean it, like you’ve seen it
You get back what you give in the end
There’s a man on the cross with His arms open wide
And a fear that they’ll quench the world’s fires
But His name is a shield to the ones who would wield
Their own power and greed, and desire
In the end, did you need them?
How’d you treat them?
Is it so hard to love?
In the end, like you mean it, like you’ve seen it
You get back what you give in the end
Is it so hard to love?
In the end
You get back what you give in the end
You’ll only live once, or maybe you’ll live twice
Depending on how well you spend it
You see, karma’s a drag, you come back as a rat
Dozen traps, set by your own descendants
Is it too late to turn back now?
Too late to turn around?
You’ll get one chance in this life
You can do the right thing or you can close your eyes
In the end, did you feed them?
How’d you treat them?
Is it so hard to love?
In the end, like you mean it, like you’ve seen it
You get back what you give
In the end, did you hear them?
Did you feed them?
Is it so hard to love?
In the end, like you mean it, like you’ve seen it
You get back what you give in the end
You get back what you give in the end
Oh, in the end
Oh, in the end
