From the first cry of a babe
To the age of twenty-five
I've searched my soul to find myself
But I'm still unrecognized
One-way streets, walls of concrete
Two restless feet's all I've got
Oh Lord, I'm so afraid
For third of my life is shot
And I get out of breath
Watching the world spin so fast
My future becomes my past
My mind gets hung so bad
That I get out of breath
It's all right for the successful
To tell you take your time
Have patience, understanding
While the suicide rates climb
I work all day to try and pay back
Debts that won't go down
I can't say that I'm lost
No, I just ain't been found
And I get out of breath
Watching the world spin so fast
My future becomes my past
My mind gets hung so bad
That I get out of breath
People spend more time
Asking forgiveness than being good
Everyone's out stealing
Or home planning how they could
Double standards make good mandirs
That strip us of our pride
Our morals have decayed
Yeah, and this I can not buy
And I get out of breath
Watching the world spin so fast
My future becomes my past
My life gets hung so bad
That I get out of breath
