Live It Up |
| The sun don’t set in Gettysville |
| The place that I call home |
| A thousand people walk these streets |
| But we’re still all alone |
| This city’s isolation |
| Like the drug that paves the roads |
| Take the subway uptown |
| To my mother’s place |
| She’s got a thousand friends |
| But all they know of her’s, her face |
| All alone inside her head |
| Her thoughts begin to race |
| Live it up |
| Live it up they say |
| Live it up |
| No time to waste your life away |
| Next door to me the ceiling leaks |
| The cracks stretch across the walls |
| Like skeletons of dreams deceased |
| Too brittle to evolve |
| He lies beneath his plastic sheets |
| Bitter and blind to all |
| Shadows beneath his sunken eyes |
| Now taint all that he sees |
| Like burned and blackened photographs |
| Life’s easier a dream |
| He settles for a cheap escape |
| Forgets all he believes |
| Live it up |
| Live it up they say |
| Live it up |
| Things havn’t always been this way |
| I watched my whole world crumble |
| As I dried my mother’s tears |
| And learned to never stumble |
| As I calmed my father’s fears |
| They say I’ve seen a lot |
| They say I’m wise beyond my years |
| Though my castle may have crumbled |
| I won’t face the world alone |
| The youth has seen the rubble |
| And we’re ready for the load |
| As the city burns |
| My generation’s shouting in the roads |
| Live it up |
| Live it up they say |
| Live it up |
| Things havn’t always been this way |
| Live it up |
| We better turn this boat around |
| If we keep on following the goals |
| Someday we are gonna run aground |
| Live it up |
| Live it up we say |
| Live it up |
| Because now its in our hands to make change |
