It's not all rainbows and sunshine and pink lemonade
It's not flowers and candy and chilled french champagne
It's hard and it's trying and working all night
it's doing your damndest till you get it right
It's loving and crying and ending the fight
it's famine and diseases and it's living in plight
woah woah!
the fantasy that we all want so bad
is something that few of us ever will have
life's about choices both the good and the bad
but who's making those choices is why I'm so mad
It's about profits and who's clicking the mouse
It's not one bit about how you'll pay for your house
It's oil and pockets and network tv
In the end, It's not about you and not about me
woah woah@
It's not all rainbows in not a cloudy sky
it's not about children who never said goodbye
it's not about the man who took his life today
it's about that big deal and how much it will pay
Don't take it for granted the things that you get
For those who aren't as lucky will never forget
