Seventeen years in a dead end job
Telling his dreams to a deaf eared god
Hanging on tight by a single thread
Praying for a change

Everything you could have sacrificed
Your flesh and blood had it's own sweet price

Somebody tell me (it doesn't make no sense at all)

Why we're living in a world of contradiction
In a world of contradiction

Seventeen years in a dead end job
Telling his dreams to a deaf eared god
Hanging on tight by a single thread
