Something That Is Going to Last

Are you tired of feeling lonely life's got you down You feel your point of view is always out of time Sadness confusion has got the better of you The pressure of life is getting to you Maybe it's time you realised you need something That's going to last Maybe you say life's OK for you You kind of like the way things are And you don't seem to see the need To change point of view But if you build your dreams on sand When the tide comes in they'll come crushing down Maybe it's time you realised you need something That's going to last Maybe you run around town Trying every new game around Giving your love to everyone Rowing your boat out into the sun But when the tide runs out don't be surprised If your dreams come crushing down It's time you realised you need Something that's going to last Maybe you say life's a joke You like drinking not thinking taking it slow Playing a fool having a lark Laying in the sun playing in the dark Living life so free you say that's alright by me Maybe it is time you realised you need something That's going to last I'm a good natured person I wouldn't hurt a fly Surely God will be good to me when I die I do what I can for the sick and the poor I share what I have I abide by the law I do my work when the sun shines bright For good works I dedicate my life Maybe it's time you realised you need something That's going to last But don't talk about religion cos that gets me down They're fighting sniping shouting what they found They're saying one thing and doing another They're helping the Church and then cursing a brother That life's not for me I need something else you see Maybe it's time you realised you need something That's going to last Maybe it is time you realised You need something that's going to last
