Verse 1

One life to live but we're doing it wrong
You see, got my brother down cause it's nothing to me 
Everyone saying that it's wrong to cheat
But there's no other way to get my life on easy street 
Someone else telling you what you're living for
Been knocking you down, now you're looking for more 
The only sound you hear is a closing door
Been looking for peace but they're bringing you war 
Rich man cryin' cause his money's time
And poor man's smilin' cause he knows he ain't blind 
There's a man over there says he's tougher than me
But I got eyes that can see through fantasy 

Chorus

I think my life is passing me by 
I think my life is passing me by 

Verse 2

Take it all back cause it don't mean nothing
If you give it away and you're looking for something back 
Wake up every morning when there's nothing there
No reason to die but no reason to care 
Someone else telling you what you're living for
Been knocking you down now you're looking for more 
The only sound you hear is a closing door
Been looking for peace but they're bringing you war 
One life to live but we're doing it wrong
You see, got my brother down cause it's nothing to me 
Rich man cryin' cause his money's time
And poor man's smilin' cause he knows he ain't blind 

Chorus

I think my life is passing me by 
I think my life is passing me by
