Here we are What is left of a husband and a wife With four good kids Who have a way of getting on with their lives And I'm not old, but I'm getting a whole lot older everyday It's too late to keep from going crazy I've got to get away The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love And I understand that loving a man shouldn't have to be this rough And you ain't the only one who feels like this world's left you far behind I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time Our boys are strong now The spitting image of you when you were young I hope someday they can see past what you have become And I remember every time I said I'd never leave But what I can't live with is memories of the way you used to be The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love I understand that loving a man shouldn't have to be this rough And you ain't the only one who feels like this world's left you far behind I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time 20 years have came and went since I walked out of your door I never quite made it back to the one I was before And God, it hurts me to think of you, 'fore the light in your eyes was gone And sometimes I don't know why this old world can't leave well enough alone The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love And I understand that loving a man shouldn't have to be this rough And you ain't the only one who feels like this world's left you far behind I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time

Standing on the edge of the Palisades' Cliffs In the shadow of the skyline very far away Like a lightning rod that couldn? t pull the storm from me I was 5 years old, my best friend's older brother died He fell from these cliffs The river washed him away, the current pulled him downstream And our lives float in the headlines, so we park these cars Parent? s garage listen to the lullaby Of carbon monoxide War all of the time In the shadow of the New York skyline We grew up too fast, falling apart Like the ashes of American flags If the sun doesn't rise We'll replace it with an H-bomb explosion A painted jail cell of light in the sky Like three mile island nightmares On TVs that sing us to sleep They burn on and on like an oil field Or a memory of what it felt like To burn on and on and not just fade away All those nights in the basement The kids are still screaming On and on and on and on War all of the time In the shadow of the New York skyline We grew up too fast, falling apart Like the ashes of American flags And we? re blowing in the wind We don? t know where to land So we kiss like little kids We used to be very tall buildings We? ve been falling for so long Now your eyes are a sign on the edge of town They offer a welcome when you are leaving War all of the time In the shadow of the New York skyline We grew up too fast, falling apart Like the ashes of American flags The pieces fall it? s like a last day parade And the fires in our streets start to rage So wave to those people who long to wave back From the fabric of a flag that sang, "Love all of the time" War all the time, war all the time All of the time War all the time, war all the time All of the time, all of the time War all of the time, war all of the time War all of the time, war all of the time

Those that try anything once Should we care about the only ones? All the time that I need is never quite enough All the time that I have is all that's necessary You're livin' a lie You're livin' a lie You're living too fast You gotta pray for the best You never ask why You never ask why You're living a lie Baby you're flying too high No one talks, about the war On my blood, or by the shore All alone in a room Do you want what I want too? All the time in the world Is all that's necessary You're livin' a lie You're livin' a lie You're living too fast You gotta pray for the best You never ask why You never ask why You're living a lie Baby you're flying too high You never ask why You never ask why You're livin' a lie Baby you're flying too high Don't get on the phone Don't reach for the door You know the answer that you're looking for You're livin' a lie You're livin' a lie You're living too fast You gotta pray for the best You never ask why You never ask why You're livin' a lie Baby you're flying too high
