Living for Someone

The world is breaking down

But we are marching forward

My friends are breaking ground

And loving one another

We were not living for ourselves

But we were living for someone elseNow I've just quit my job

And sold my fine possessions

Expecting our first child

Amid the Great Recession

We care less than you, it's true

It was the spirit of the age

Ain't it funny how nothing really ever changesNow draw the line between

What you want and what you need

Now tell me what you see

Turned your blessings into burdens

Could it be

You were not living for yourself

But you were living for something elseAnd so you limit your own mind

You never were the dreaming kind

Cause someone told you Boy when you were young

You'll never find the things you want
