There were people on the sidewalks |
|
Strolling down the avenues |
|
They were sitting outside in cafes |
|
We were looking for the muse |
|
Well, I was locked in by the system |
|
Where no freedom is the rule |
|
Now, I spend all my time just trying |
|
To make it understood |
|
"It once was my life", that's what everybody said |
|
All the things I used to do and the people that we're friends |
|
I've got to make it mean something at the end of the day |
|
It once was my life, they can't take that away |
|
Trials and tribulations and stupidity still rules |
|
Sometimes, it looks like I'm on a ship of fools |
|
It once was my life when my message was just the street |
|
Then it became something else and now it's incomplete |
|
I'm just trying to get back to when, can somebody please shed some light? |
|
It used to be my life, it used to be uptight |
|
Trials and tribulations and stupidity still rules |
|
Some days it just feels like I'm on a ship of fools |
|
I'm back here on the boards, I can hear the engines roar |
|
Everybody's got to pay, some people got to pay more |
|
Well, you can tell the people anything, spoon feed them anything you like |
|
It used to be so simple, it used to be my life |
|
Now everything is so complicated, just to speak or use the phone |
|
Some people try to use me, just 'cause they don't have their own |
|
Don't know who's round the corner, trying to sell me some more tripe |
|
It used to be my life, it used to be my life |
