I don't need no misery, I don't need the war
I don't want my kids to see the things I've seen before
And it's a crazy day from the starting gate and they're killing the mood at every turn of the page
Sorry doesn't cover all the lies we tell each other everyday
Every day there's something that tries to break our will all I know is nothing comes up from downhill
So, hold me closer until the cruel morning comes one more night alone with you while we're still young
I don't need the newscast & I don't need the gloss
I don't want my child to learn the things that we have lost
But it's the honesty that's gone missing and we're coming & going & all in disarray
I don't need money until the money's gone
And I don't need the biggest house on the richest block
But I've gotta find peace in everything and a million ears are gonna hear me sing"
