Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How people look and people stare
Well, I don't think that I even care
You work your life away and what do they give?
You're only killing yourself to live
[Verse 2]
Killing yourself to live
Killing yourself to live
[Verse 3]
Just take a look around you, what do you see?
Pain, suffering and misery
It's not the way that the world was meant
It's a pity you don't understand
[Verse 4]
Killing yourself to live
Killing yourself to live
[Verse 5]
I'm telling you, believe in me
Nobody else will tell you
Open your eyes and see the lies
Oh, yeah
[Verse 6]
Smoke it
Get high!
[Verse 7]
You think that I'm crazy and baby, I know that it's true
Before that you know it, I think that you'll go crazy too
[Verse 8]
I don't know if I'm up or down
Whether black is white or blue is brown
The colors in my life are all different somehow
Little boy Blue's a big girl now
[Verse 9]
So you think it's me who's strange?
But you've never had to make the change
Never give your trust away
You'll end up paying till your dying day
