Okay what can i say my Facts of Life not everything's going be okay that's just the cold hard reality tragically...Bando... Bando 7... Mmm-mmm Mmmm-hmm They say you can’t be used, you’re useless when you fall, No cash in your pocket, no one thinks of you at all. It hurts when someone needs you and you can’t relieve the pain, Stuck inside the mixer of the hopeless and the shame. Mmm-hhmmm I know I’ve got a good soul, but kindness doesn’t pay, They need a little money just to hear what you would say. They ask me for a deposit before I make a sound, I’ve got a song inside me, but I can’t get it out now. Mmmm-hmm There’s too much going wrong, I’m barely holding on, I wear a smile for nothing, then the feeling’s gone. I can’t pretend I’m fine, I’m tired of being strong, Some nights I don’t know where I went wrong. Mmmm-hmmmm These are the facts of life when life beats you down, When you’re on your knees and there’s nobody around. Might as well pray, hope God replies, “Not today, but tomorrow—just wait, survive.” Sadness turns to madness, it doesn’t happen overnight, You open up your eyes to the real world way too late. I’ve had enough of hurting, but I’m still trying to survive, Running up the bills so she can get a couple more hours of life. Mmmm-hmm I’m not proud of where I am, but I’m telling you the truth, What else are you supposed to do when life takes everything from you? Every promise feels expensive, every answer comes too late, And patience is the only thing they tell you to create. Mmmm-hmm Time keeps watching while I suffer, every minute leaves a scar, I keep searching for a reason in the dark to where we are. I wanted to be useful, I wanted to help somebody breathe, But when your hands are empty, even love feels out of reach. Mmmm-hmm There’s too much going wrong, I’m barely holding on, I wear a smile for nothing, then the feeling’s gone. I can’t pretend I’m fine, I’m tired of being strong, Some nights I don’t know where I went wrong. nah-nah-naaahh These are the facts of life when life beats you down, When you’re on your knees and there’s nobody around. Might as well pray, hope God replies, “Not today, but tomorrow—just wait, survive.” Sadness turns to madness, it doesn’t happen overnight, You open up your eyes to the real world way too late. I’ve had enough of hurting, but I’m still trying to survive, Running up the bills so she can get a couple more hours of life. Mmmm-hmm Maybe faith is just a whisper When the silence fills the room, Maybe hope is staying patient When you’re sure there’s no way through. I don’t have the cash to save them, I don’t have the words to mend, But I can keep this heart from breaking And begin again. Mmmm-hmm-mmm These are the facts of life when life beats you down, When you’re on your knees and there’s nobody around. Might as well pray, hope God replies, “Not today, but tomorrow—just wait, survive.” Sadness turns to madness, but I’m not gone tonight, I opened up my eyes and faced the real world in the light. I may not have the answers, but I’m still here alive, Running up the bills so she can get a couple more hours of life. Mmm-mmm No cash, no sound, no easy way out, But I’m still breathing underneath the doubt. If tomorrow takes its time, I’ll wait and try, One more hour, one more day, one more reason why...Bando7 Mm-hmm Bando on the beat Mmm-mmm
