Another weekends gone by and you feel like you're dead again
Staring off into space thinking about places you'd rather be
This ain't no way to feel alive but it's a way to make a living
Better to just scrape by than to be out on the streets
So much of your time is determined to be wasted
In the confines of obligation you're shackled to
The good life ain't far if you know just how to make it
Count your blessing because they're all you've got to lose

Being happy don't always come easy
Maybe luck isn't hiding if it's nowhere we've looked

Well you've got bigger plans than the ones you find you're in
You're not working for nothing but for life outside these walls
And the things that have meaning are always worth fighting for
Otherwise what's the point of sacrificing it all

Being happy don't always come easy
Maybe luck isn't hiding if it's nowhere we've looked
Maybe luck isn't hiding if it's nowhere we've looked

If your hopes and your dreams always seem just out of reach
Don't start thinking the world's out to get you, so it would seem
If you stand in one place you will always see the familiar,
Sights you've always seen, sights you've always seen
