every move i make
one step forward two steps back
but ain't that the way it goes
isn't that just like it always goes

i feel like a warrior
with no place to attack
ain't that the way it goes
isn't that just like it always goes

and i still see so many people
who can only
be what somebody tells them
we wanna live
we wanna live

we wanna wave our flags real high
we wanna live
we wanna live
we wanna live and never die

spinnin' wheels, busted deals
down in a parking lot
but ain't that the wayt goes
isn't that just like it always goes

and i still see so many people
who can only
be what somebody tells them

we wanna live
we wanna live

we wanna wave our flags real high
we wanna live
we wanna live
we wanna live and never die

sleepless nights and lonely flights
i feel like an empty page
ain't that the way it goes
isn't that just like it always goes

dead beat in a dead heatful house
with an empty stage
ain't that the way it goes
isn't that just like it always goes

we wanna live
