If I ever quit it, I'll do it again
I'm a fallen man, you don't understand
Grace could help, but he don't have plans, no
I'm a haunted man, you could understand
Oh, I know the laughter comes after the storm
Oh, I hope when it's over it won't be my fault
We're not gonna take it
Gonna live each moment
Gotta hold those times
Dear to your heart 'cause
We're not gonna take it
Gonna live because a picture
Is a poor excuse, it's never enough
This is it, there goes my chance
To fail another time from the highest highs
There's the sad fact we have to die
And somewhere there an unfinished work lies
Oh, I know the laughter comes after the storm
Oh, I hope when it's over it won't be my fault
We're not gonna take it
Gonna live each moment
Gotta hold those times
Dear to your heart 'cause
We're not gonna take it
Gonna live because a picture
Is a poor excuse, it's never enough
Live your life
Whatever that means for you
I just hope you do
Or else you'll be 29
High on getting by
Oh, it's time
And then you'll be 62
Paralyzed with all the fright
That you got played by someone else's game
And you're the only one to blame
We're not gonna take it
Gonna live each moment
Gotta hold those times
Dear to your heart 'cause
We're not gonna take it
Gonna live because a picture
Is a poor excuse, it's never enough
Hold the times of pride
So dear to your heart
'Cause the truth of life
Is that a picture
Is a poor excuse, it's never enough
