How many years keep on slipping away And it seems that your life doesn't matter, you never had a chance How many ways is a love torn apart And you look to your heart for some answers, don't let it slip away Can't blame myself anymore, I've been beaten and accused before Well I took some bad advice, and I paid too high a price I could sell my soul, you know I wouldn't think twice Chorus: How many times must a man fall down, I said whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh How many dreams have to fall to the ground It goes on an' on an' on an' on an' on, yeah How many times do you look for some sign That there's hope, and your life has some meaning, almost every day, hey, hey Maybe I was born to wander, I got no high hopes any longer So tell me my friend, just where does it end Is nothin' ever gonna free me from this hell I'm livin' in Chorus (Instrumental break) Can't blame myself anymore, I've been beaten and accused before So tell me my friend, just where does it end I'm sick and tired of livin' in a rat race that no one ever wins Chorus repeats 2x
