Seventeen years in a dead end job
Telling his dreams to a deaf eared god
Hanging on tight by a single thread
Praying for a changeEverything you could have sacrificed
Your flesh and blood had it's own sweet price
Baby's all grown up and moved away
Where's that leave you now?It was your own decision
You made my life your missionSomebody tell me
It doesn't make no sense at all
Somebody tell me
Why we're living in a world of contradictionSomebody tell me
It doesn't make no sense at all
Somebody tell me
Why we're living in a world of contradictionWhy is it so hard to be understood?
Doing so much for the common good
Sorry if I didn't see the truth
The sadness in your eyesI wanted to stand on my own two feet
Looking at life as a one way street
Thinking that I had it all worked out
Where's that leave me now?We lost communication
Too many expectationsSomebody tell me
It doesn't make no sense at all
Somebody tell me
Why we're living in a world of contradictionSomebody tell me
It doesn't make no sense at all
Somebody tell me
Why we're living in a world of contradictionEverything I have inside
I kept it wrapped up tight
All I know is
All I want to know is
Somebody tell meSomebody tell me
It doesn't make no sense at all
Somebody tell me
Why we're living in a world of contradiction
In a world of contradictionSeventeen years in a dead end job
Telling his dreams to a deaf eared god
Hanging on tight by a single thread
Where's that leave you now?
