Lyrics below
What’s wrong with the way I live
The way I use my time
People should live their lives
Leaving me to mine, leaving me to mine
I’m a man who is defending
All his rights to live in peace
And my job is never ending for me
Ever since I was a young man
People tried to get at me
Tried to bring me down and hurt me
And I’m losing, losing
What’s wrong with the way I live
The way I use my time
People should live their lives
Leaving me to mine, leaving me to mine
[Break]
They persist in rearranging
All my days to suit them best
But the future will be changing for me
I’m a man who is defending
All his rights to live in peace
And my job is never ending
But they’re losing, losing
What’s wrong with the way I live
The way I use my time
People should live their lives
Leaving me to mine, leaving me to mine
And they’re losing
