The Way Of The World
Written By Jeff Watson, Bob Daisley, and Joe Lynn Turner
See the man on the street,
Well he’s got no tomorrow,
Chasin’ after a dream that slipped away,
He can’t find no relief,
If he begs, steals, or borrows,
He keeps holdin'’ on livin’ day to day.
I know it’s more than one man can take,
Sooner or later somethin’s gotta break.
Men bleed and children cry,
But you’ve got your diamonds and pearls,
Dead dreams and life crucified,
It’s just the way of the world,
It’s just the way of the world.
Fear in the eyes of the man in the ivory tower
Ridin’ so high he knows it’s a long way to fall,
A picture of greed and the struggle for power,
It’s what money can buy, but not justice for all.
Another goes under but who really cares,
Whoever said life would be fair.
