No Matter Who You Are

No matter who you are no matter what you do There's gonna be someone wants something else from you Yeah This is an ancient test, it's a shiny lie Discover somethin' pure then sit and watch it die Yeah No matter who you are no matter where you've been No matter what you've done you'll have to start again No matter who you are Between the soaring dreams and the bottom line So much is given up so much is left behind Yeah This is the price you pay, this is the beast you feed When you abandon hope and you give in to greed No matter who you are no matter who you've been You'll have to sort it out and start again No matter who you are No matter who you are Don't take this wrong don't let it bring you down It's just the way things work in this great big town
