I Was Told Lyrics

I get up in the morning and I work all day I come home late at night and I sleep life away There's nothing I can do, it's the way of the world I was told I've spent fourteen years at the job I got I'll spend fourteen more till I've done my lot There's nothing I can do, it's the way of the world There's nothing I can do, it's the way of the world I was told and I heard what was said I was told, I listened till I was dead I was told... Yeah, I was told I've spent half my life tryin' to make ends meet Now I'm half way there but I think I'm beat There's nothing I can do, it's the way of the world I was told I look in your eyes and all I see is hate There once was love but now it's too late There's nothing I can do, it's the way of the world There's nothing I can do, it's the way of the world I was told and I heard what was said I was told, I listened till I was dead I was told... Yeah, I was told Never had it easy, but I never had it this damn hard
