The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Is there anybody out there? That wakes up with a bitter taste? It's a king that we put up there And he's a short way to fall from grace It's slowly filling upward. You can stand but you have no ground. I hear it from the lost words. They say its time that you lost your crown. Don't be so greedy. A dollar's a penny to you When hearts are beating Say what you want 'em to do. Wasting away... I see you. When the top of the world falls on you Finding a day, don't want to be you When the top of the world falls on you Is there anybody out there? That can see what a man can change? It's better that you don't care Because he knows that he's in his state I feel the paranoia. When there's a time, put you in your place In the eyes of those who watch ya Well they can wait 'til they hit your face Don't be so greedy. A dollar's a penny to you When hearts are beating Say what you want 'em to do. Wasting away... I see you. When the top of the world falls on you Finding a day, don't want to be you When the top of the world falls on you Paint yourself a picture When you waste another picture And you win, and you win, and you win Paint yourself a picture And then you break another picture And you win, and you win, and you win And you win Yeah you win and you win Don't be so greedy. A dollar's a penny to you When hearts are beating Say what you want 'em to do. Wasting away... I see you. When the top of the world falls on you Finding a day, don't want to be you When the top of the world falls on you Don't be so greedy. A dollar's a penny to you When hearts are beating Say what you want 'em to do. Wasting away... I see you. When the top of the world falls on you Finding a day, don't want to be you When the top of the world falls on you
