| 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 |
