[Intro: Black Thought]
Like sheep to the slaughter
Everybody's caught up tryin' to find
Something to be a part of
Livin' with our guards up all the time
Forever with a wall up
And breaking through it all never crossed the mind
The world seems smaller
And greatness is withering on the vine

[Pre-Chorus: Black Thought, John Gourley & Zoe Manville]
Won't anybody take the lead?
It's ourselves we love the least
Everyone seems make believe
That's the nature of the beast

[Chorus: John Gourley & Zoe Manville]
Couple dollars and a dream
What did mama say, kid?
Everything ain't what it seem
Life is what you make it
We are, we are, going through the same thing
Going through the same shit
We are, we are, going through the same thing
Going through the same shit
