For A Lifetime

Devils and angels on this old street

Twenty-two years and I'm still asleep at home

It's all that I've known

Most of my friends have all moved away

Gone off to college to find their weight in gold

Every day is a lifetime

Back to the beginning again

And we slave for a lifetime, for a lifetime

There's nothing real on my TV screen

It's all a network reality

And it shows in our broken home

And now most of my friends are all moving back

To a life less certain than yesterday

It's a backwards step we made

Every day is a lifetime

Back to the beginning again

And we slave for a lifetime

We'll walk free in the end

Every day is a lifetime

Back to the beginning again

And we slave for a lifetime, for a lifetime

Under the sun, we're all working hard

Not sure if it will pay

Can you believe that the last few years

Left us poor and here today?

Devils and angels on this old street

Now they got the same secrets as you and me

So let's open our doors

Let's open our doors for the world to see

Every day is a lifetime

Back to the beginning again

But we slave for a lifetime

We'll walk free in the end

Every day is a lifetime

Back to the beginning again

And we slave for a lifetime

(For a lifetime)

Every day is a lifetime

It's a lifetime under the sun

Every day is a lifetime

It's a lifetime

Every day is a lifetime

(Devils and angels on this old street)

It's a lifetime under the sun

Every day is a lifetime

(Devils and angels on this old street)

It's a lifetime

Every day is a lifetime

(Devils and angels on this old street)

It's a lifetime under the sun

(Devils and angels of you and me)

Every day is a lifetime

(Devils and angels on this old street)

It's a lifetime

(Devils and angels of you and me)
