Lyrics

Never thought it would be so rough And I wonder if I had enough To keep from breaking down No mercy in this town Every day is just another test Seems I'm always second best Put your love along the way It's the price you have to pay Try to say goodbye Be tough and self-reliant Though I get tired to the bone Love is just a wish you keep inside How's it gonna help me to survive? Looks like I'm in this fight alone And I'm living in desperate times Being alive's my only crime Don't care what I have to do I'll find some way to make it through Oh and I'm living in desperate times And it's too late to change my mind Till these desperate times are done Gonna run, watch me run Innocents get taken in By the promise of an easy win They start off so naive So eager to believe But the glitter of the city lights Only covers up a lonely night All strange and slamming doors You're hungry and ignored I've faced the competition I've made the hard decisions Will it be worth it in the end? Taking any chance becomes a crime Getting hard to tell what's right or wrong I only wish I had a friend And I'm living in desperate times Being alive's my only crime Don't care what I have to do I'll find some way to make it through Oh and I'm living in desperate times And it's too late to change my mind Till these desperate times are done Gonna run Living in desperate times Living in desperate times Living in desperate times And I'm living in desperate times Being alive's my only crime Don't care what I have to do I'll find some way to make it through Oh and I'm living in desperate times And it's too late to change my mind Till these desperate times are done Gonna run Open up your eyes and watch me run Till these desperate times are done Watch me run And I'm living in desperate times Being alive's my only crime Don't care what I have to do I'll find some way to make it through
