Peace Would Be Nice

where did all the s--t come from
who wrote the rules
up seems down and down seems up
how can i tell right from left
life is spinning so fast
i can't get off
i can't make it stop
what i want is not what i am allowed to have
except for a fleeting moment

who made the rules
if you tell truth
you get burned
if you try
it is never enough

what you want you can't have

you can't have what you want

when you win you lose
whey does it go on and on
when can it stop

where is there someone who can tell me how to live
someone who actually knows how to live
i want to live

i want more than just existence

peace would be nice
