John Reuben - Time To Leave lyrics
[John Reuben - Time To Leave lyrics]
Taught young, the world's wisdom
I was told life's a game
The earth will be your stadium
Be alert, pay attention
One day even your friends
Will become the competition
Trust no one but do remember this
Never burn any potential bridges
Know who's who, and what they can do for you
And don't feel bad cause' in the end
They're gonna do it to you too
Remember life's not fair
In order to maintain
You're gonna have to let
You sensitivity be trained
A machine more than a human being
What you say doesn't always have
To be what you mean
Tell them what they want to hear
If it's to your benefit
And words beyond closed
Doors are insignificant
Push yourself, never be satisfied
Even if you don't get it
At least you died knowing you tried
Born, live, strive, succeed
Gain it all, bye, now it's time to leave
Born, live, strive, succeed
Gain it all, bye, now it's time to leave'
Born, live, strive, succeed
Gain it all, bye, now it's time to leave'
Now, all we see is now
Gain it all, now it's time
Taught young, the world's wisdom
Begin to pay attention and
Make my own observations
All of these kids working hard for admiration
Doing their best not to
Meet their social expiration
Kind of hard in a world this finicky
Easily praised and yet destroyed
Just as quickly i guess me and this planet
Must not be compatible
'Cause, I don't want it's
Approval to feel valuable
So who's next to climb the wall of success
Just to see how good the top truly gets
Chasing lies disguised as going
Somewhere only to
Arrive and realize it's really no where'
That's even if you get there
In the first place
What an incredible let down
We're bound to face
When we substitute purpose
For cheap counterfeit
Too busy trying to succeed in life
That we forget to live it
Born, live, strive, succeed
Gain it all, bye, now it's time to leave
Born, live, strive, succeed
Gain it all, bye, now it's time to leave'
Born, live, strive, succeed
Gain it all, bye, now it's time to leave'
Now, all we see is now
Gain it all, now it's time
You can live in the infinite or
Give in to the immediate
Gain it all but someday you'll
Have to leave it this world is temporary and
It's heart is selfish
Think to yourself, is this what wealth is
But now, all we see is now and now is not a
Bad thing but now does bring tomorrow then
Now becomes then
Moments escape, new ones replace them
Don't want to face the end still searching
Asking what in this world did
I ever find worth in
What could be worse than life of wasted years
Nothing lasting, nothing true, nothing dear
I fear losing beauty in
Pursuit of bigger things
I fear a broken home courtesy
Of the American dream
Maybe that's just me with my
Emotions on my sleeve
But one way or another we
All wear what we believe
Born, live, strive, succeed
Gain it all, bye, now it's time to leave
Born, live, strive, succeed
Gain it all, bye, now it's time to leave'
Born, live, strive, succeed
Gain it all, bye, now it's time to leave'
But now, we're wasting now
I was told life's a game
The earth will be your stadium
Be alert, pay attention
One day even your friends
Will become the competition
Trust no one but do remember this
Never burn any potential bridges
Know who's who, and what they can do for you
And don't feel bad cause' in the end
They're gonna do it to you too
