Sheryl Crow - In the End lyrics

There's a fly on the wall
In the house on the hill
Where the king of the world, watches TV
And the people await, for his latest mandate
To a nation of angry believers
His words are a trap
While his loyal band of thugs
Cover up all his many transgressions
The fly, lands on his ear and
Whispers, "What's there to fear
As long as you're still the obsession?"
Is it too late to turn back now?
Too late to see the light?
Do you make a vow to Heaven and Hell?
When you wake up at night
Do you ask yourself?

In thе end
Did you feed them? How'd you treat thеm?
Is it so hard to love? In the end
Like you mean it, like you've seen it
You get back what you give, in the end

There's a man on the cross
With His arms open wide
And a fear that they'll
Quench the world's fires
But His name is a shield to
The ones who would fear
Their own power and greed, and desire

In the end
Did you need them? How'd you treat them?
Is it so hard to love? In the end
Like you mean it, like you've seen it
You get back what you give, in the end
Is it so hard to love? In the end
You get back what you give, in the end

You'll only live once
Or maybe you'll live twice
Depending on how well you spend it
You see, karma's a drag
You come back as a rat dozen traps
They'll bite your own descendants
Is it too late to turn back now?
Too late to turn around?
You'll get, one chance in this life
You can turn around things or
You can close your eyes

In the end
Did you feed them? How'd you treat them?
Is it so hard to love? In the end
Like you mean it, like you've seen it
You get back what you give, in the end

In the end
Did you hear them? Did you feed them?
Is it so hard to love? In the end
Like you mean it, like you've seen it
You get back what you give, in the end
You get back what you give in, the end

Oh, in the end oh, in the end
