Smoke Or Fire - Breadwinner lyrics

The road to hell was paved with good intentions That's the path that brought me here You sell your soul for roles you take And then you have to look into the mirror So feed us cancer, give us d** Sell us half-a** educations all so we can Pick a job to pay the rent Forget your dreams and what they may have meant to you in your youth Find a bride and raise the kids Teach them from mistakes that you have made Are we predestined or just well-trained? Invent a god and place the blame for all this hurt you feel And on and so on It feels sometimes so scripted like your life's out of your hands A fixed lottery we'll never win Not everybody wants to be the angry one To sacrifice and make a change But everybody wants to find a better way I search for that for you These things that you love will leave We'll bury friends and family With these lonely feelings These lonely feelings, I think of you In my selfishness I waste away Act your age and be a man With these lonely feelings These lonely feelings, I think of you And I brace myself And it feels sometimes so scripted like your life's out of your hands A fixed lottery we'll never win Not everybody wants to be the angry one To sacrifice and make a change But everybody wants to find a better way I search for that for you And it breaks my heart to see you do this all by yourself And I've sworn so many times this year I'd turn things around Don't ever let your daughter love a pa**ionate man 'Cause I hate myself for missing all the times I promised you
