one day you'll ask yourself
for how long we'll be acting like they want
living on the defensive
how long
how long will it take to understand
we are smaller than the smallest grain of sand
maybe it's time to slow down
but you give and you give and you give
but they always want some more
and you dance and you shout
like you never did before
but you give and you give and you give
but they're always on the make
and you love and you hate
so now let's take a break
get back to where you were at the start
to see how much you've done
to dance to a different tune
who cares
whatever you did was done for good
whatever you messed up burned in flame
and it's always the same
i bet it's always the same
but you give and you give and you give
but they always want some more
and you dance and you shout
like you never did before
but you give and you give and you give
but they always on the make
and you love and you hate
