Looking for something, looking for one thing
Trying to find anything that makes you feel
Gotta keep goin', don't let it get you down
Now you've got nothing to lose

You been taking it so hard, taking it on the head
Don't you know life's as good as being dead
Gotta keep movin', don't let it get you down
Now you've got nothing to lose

When everyone around you tells you you're doin' fine
They're gonna drive you crazy
So don't close your eyes and swallow all those lies
Don't believe what you've been told
'Cause you'll wake up one day knowing
Nothing they say can satisfy your soul

Gotta keep movin', don't let it bring you down
Now you've got nothing to lose

When everyone around you tells you you're doin' fine
They're gonna drive you crazy
So don't close your eyes and swallow all those lies
Don't believe what you've been told
'Cause you'll wake up one day knowing
Nothing they say can satisfy your soul

Looking for something, looking for one thing
Trying to find anything that makes you feel
You gotta keep goin', don't let it get you down
Now you've got nothing to lose
