lyrics

I gotta get ideas,
For every day that follows,
To turn this thing around,
Cause every day is hollow.

I try, I try to shake it,
I'm doin' all that I can,
They try, they try to break me,
But there's one thing to understand it's..

Oh (oh oh), I did it all,
I did for the money.
Oh (oh oh), I did it all,
I did for the money.

Since I was seventeen,
They put it all in my head,
You're gonna do this thing,
until the day that you're dead.

CHORUS

Oh, where do you go from here,
To save yourself,
I'm running in circles,
Hide my head,
'Til something gives.

CHORUS
