Versuri Contradictions

  
Seventeen years in a dead end job 
telling his dreams to a deaf eared god 
Hangin' on tight by a single thread 
prayin' for a change. 
Everything you could have sacrificed 
your flesh and blood had it's own sweet price 
baby's all grown up and moved away 
where's that leave you now? 
 
It was your own decision 
you made my life your mission. 
Somebody tell me 
it doesn't make no sense at all 
Somebody tell me 
Why we're living in a world of contradiction. 
Somebody tell me 
it doesn't make no sense at all 
Somebody tell me 
why we're living in a world of contradiction. 
 
Why is it so hard to be understood? 
Doing so much for the common good 
sorry if I didn't see the truth 
the sadness in your eyes 
I wanted to stand on my own two feet 
looking at life as a one way street. 
Thinking that I had it all worked out 
where's that leave me now? 
We lost communication 
too many expectations 
 
Somebody tell me 
it doesn't make no sense at all 
Somebody tell me 
Why we're living in a world of contradiction. 
Somebody tell me 
it doesn't make no sense at all 
Somebody tell me 
Why we're living in a world of contradiction. 
 
Everything I have inside 
I kept it wrapped up tight 
All I know is .. 
All I want to know is... 
Somebody tell me. 
Somebody tell me 
it doesn't make no sense at all 
Somebody tell me 
Why we're living in a world of contradiction 
In a world of contradiction.
