Lyrics
Verse 1:
They never told you
how to survive
Head above water
Must stay alive
With that mortgage wrapped
around your neck
Life... living check to check
Chorus:
So... what can you say
When nothing goes your way
So... what can you do
When the world comes down on you
Verse 2:
You're just a puppy
Doing what your told
You would prefer
To be left alone
Won't take a risk
Afraid of change
Life... going down the drain
Chorus
Bridge:
Stop being a victim
You've got the power to make a change
It's your life
Don't wait to be saved
Get a move on
You don't have that much time
It's your life
It's time to make a change
Chorus
They never told you
how to survive
Head above water
Must stay alive
With that mortgage wrapped
around your neck
Life... living check to check
Chorus:
So... what can you say
When nothing goes your way
So... what can you do
When the world comes down on you
Verse 2:
You're just a puppy
Doing what your told
You would prefer
To be left alone
Won't take a risk
Afraid of change
Life... going down the drain
Chorus
Bridge:
Stop being a victim
You've got the power to make a change
It's your life
Don't wait to be saved
Get a move on
You don't have that much time
It's your life
It's time to make a change
Chorus
