This Hungry Life

Night falls and the light fades And still you won't take off your sungla*ses I know what you're thinking You think the kids don't care And you're defeated And the rain comes And the rain goes again And you see this as some symbol of your pain This hungry life won't let you out whole But you can change a thing or two Before you go This hungry life Might not leave you with much But you can change your story And throw a hand up from the mud Night falls and the rain comes And the rain goes And the moon is a stain when you've lost something And you wait and you wait And you wait For the end or the girl or the song Or the boy or the faith Or the leader who won't bring you shame And you wait and you wait And you wait This hungry life won't let you out whole But you can change a thing or two Before you go This hungry life Might not leave you with much But you can change your story And throw a hand up from the mud This hungry life won't let you out whole But you can change a thing or two Before you go This hungry life Might not leave you with much Kick up some dust Earn someone's trust Leave a few words behind you If you must Pick a good fight And keep someone up all night Change the story, change the story
