Lyric Contradictions

Seventeen years in a dead end job
telling his dreams to a deaf eared god
Hangin on tight by a single thread
prayin for a change.
Everything you could have sacrificed
your flesh and blood had it s own sweet price
baby s all grown up and moved away
where s that leave you now?

It was your own decision
you made my life your mission.
Somebody tell me
it doesn t make no sense at all
Somebody tell me
Why we re living in a world of contradiction.
Somebody tell me
it doesn t make no sense at all
Somebody tell me
why we re living in a world of contradiction.

Why is it so hard to be understood?
Doing so much for the common good
sorry if I didn t see the truth
the sadness in your eyes
I wanted to stand on my own two feet
looking at life as a one way street.
Thinking that I had it all worked out
where s that leave me now?
We lost communication
too many expectations

Somebody tell me
it doesn t make no sense at all
Somebody tell me
Why we re living in a world of contradiction.
Somebody tell me
it doesn t make no sense at all
Somebody tell me
Why we re living in a world of contradiction.

Everything I have inside
I kept it wrapped up tight
All I know is ..
All I want to know is...
Somebody tell me.
Somebody tell me
it doesn t make no sense at all
Somebody tell me
Why we re living in a world of contradiction
In a world of contradiction.

Seventeen years in a dead end job
telling his dreams to a deaf eared god
Hangin on tight by a single thread
where s that leave you now?
