You walk through the door of a 12 hour day
And you drop to your knees cause you want to pray
But you forgot all the words that you want to say
Except for "God, there's got to be a better way"

Because you woke up with a dream
But something happened in between
Workin' so hard so you can bring it home
And buy a fancy car with a digital phone
But you can't put your finger on what's eatin' you alive

Because you woke up with a dream
But something happened in between
Go down to the bar so you could have a drink
But no one you know can be found so you sit there by yourself
And think about what's eatin' you alive

Over a million
Lights are shining down
From the cold black sky of Harlem
To the scars on Tinsel town
