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
