Lyrics Johnny Rivers

Johnny Rivers

The Way We Live

You ask me why I don't smile

Is there something troublin' me

Just open your eyes and look around

And tell me what do you see

Can you understand the things people do

And the way they treat each other

And tell me how far has man really come

When today he's still killing his brother

It makes no difference where you do it

Or what name you use

I know if things keep going this way

Everyone's gonna lose

Everybody's gonna lose

We're doing alright with material things

You can tell by the way we live

But with all these things man has learned how to do

Still hasn't learned how to give

If you don't have the answers right now

I'll see you after a while

But if next time I still look this way

You'll know why I don't smile...
