Lyrics

oxygen thieves

could it be so hard to get what you want?
why can?t you be happy with what you?ve got?
everything that?s wrong was alright all along
is it worth so much you?d give it all up?
I can?t start living like you just yet
good to see you work hard for a living
while I?m just sleeping half my life away

you know you?ve got it made
even I can see
you got just what it takes
everyone?s agreed

after all there?s not long now
the way you?re going
you?re going down
you?re taking me with you

are you happy since you gave it all up?
tell me do you get more now than you give?
well, do you?
I know it takes a will to stop that dreaming
I see you managed it in the end
wind your neck in
take a back seat
slowly lose the will to breathe

you?ve seen it all before
it never was worth fighting for

and after all there?s not long now
the way you?re going
you?re going down
you?ve only got yourself to blame
such a shame

the more I know
the more I know I don?t know
the easier it seems to come

and after all there?s not long now
the way you?re going you?re going down
so fill your boots
it?s all around
for oxygen thieves
we must allow
and everything you thought was wrong
was alright all along

you get what you deserve
