For a Lifetime - Mêlée

Devils and angels on this old street

22 years and I’m still asleep at home

It’s all that I’ve known

Most of my friends have all moved away

Gone off to college to find their weight in gold

Every day is a lifetime

Back to the beginning again

And we slave for a lifetime, for a lifetime

There’s nothing real on my TV screen

It’s all a network reality

And it shows in our broken home

Most of my friends are all moving back

To a life less certain than yesterday

It’s a backwards step we made

Every day is a lifetime

Back to the beginning again

And we slave for a lifetime, we’ll walk free in the end

Every day is a lifetime

Back to the beginning again

And we slave for a lifetime, for a lifetime

Under the sun

We’re all working hard

Not sure if it will pay

Can you believe

That the last few years left us poor and here today?

Devils and angels on this old street

Now they got the same secrets as you and me

So let’s open our doors

Let’s open our doors, for the world to see

Every day is a lifetime

Back to the beginning again

But we slave for a lifetime, we’ll walk free in the end

Every day is a lifetime

Back to the beginning again

And we slave for a lifetime

Every day is a lifetime, it’s a lifetime under the sun

Every day is a lifetime, it’s a lifetime
