Story Behind The Song
I WAS WORKING AS A TRUCK DRIVER AND JUST FED UP WITH THE LIFESTYLE OF DOING GIGS AT NIGHT AND TRYING TO GET UP AT 5:30 AM TO GO WORK A 10-12 HOUR DAY. KIND OF A CONCIOUS DECISION TO MAKE MUSIC A PRIORITY IN MY LIFE.

Lyrics
FIGHTING MY INTERNAL BATTLE
A WAR'S BEING WAGED INSIDE MY SOUL
NOTHING REALLY SEEMS TO MATTER
I'M FEELING TIRED I'M FEELING OLD
TIRED WORKING NINE TO FIVE
EARNING MONEY JUST TO SURVIVE
YES I'M LIVING BUT I'M NOT ALIVE
SEEMS LIKE SUCH A WASTE OF TIME-
I WANT TO SMILE AND HEAR THE LAUGHTER
I WANT SOMEONE TO TOUCH MY HEART
I WANT TO GRAB WHAT I'M AFTER
THERE'S JUST SO MUCH THAT KEEPS US APART
TIRED OF FIGHTING EVERYDAY
THHERE'S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY
I DON'T CARE WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY
I'M TIRED OF THIS GAME WE PLAY
(PRECHORUS)
I KEEP PUSHIN' I KEEP PUSHIN'
WORKIN' FOR IT EVERYDAY
I KEEP PUSHIN' I KEEP PUSHIN'
BUT THERE'S GOT TO A BETTER WAY
(CHORUS)
LIFE-IS FOR LIVIN'
PAY YOUR DUES AND BREAK THE RULES
WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET IT DONE
LIFE-IS FOR LIVIN'
DO WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE THE BREAKS
UNTIL THE GAME IS WON-
(SOLO)
(PRECHORUS)
I KEEP PUSHIN' I KEEP PUSHIN'
WORKIN' FOR IT EVERYDAY
I KEEP PUSHIN' I KEEP PUSHIN'
BUT THERE'S GOT TO A BETTER WAY
(CHORUS)
LIFE-IS FOR LIVIN'
PAY YOUR DUES AND BREAK THE RULES
WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET IT DONE
LIFE-IS FOR LIVIN'
DO WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE THE BREAKS
UNTIL THE GAME IS WON-
(SOLO)
HORUS)
LIFE-IS FOR LIVIN'
LIFE-IS FOR LIVIN'
DO WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE THE BREAKS
UNTIL THE GAME IS WON-
