With a shrug and some lazy eyes
It's hard to tell if today's gonna paralyze

I got traffic on the bedroom floor
And there ain't much here
But still I can't afford
This simple life

(We don't ask for much)
And still I get denied
(We don't ask for much)
No matter how hard I try

Livin' ain't cheap and it's starting to show
"Daddy don't leave, Daddy please don't go"
He cries

He's got disappointment written all on his face
But the money's runnin' thin
And I swear I hate this place sometimes
Oh, sometimes

(We don't ask for much)
And still I get denied
(We don't ask for much)
No matter how hard I try

I close my eyes and let it all slow down
Everything's fine for now
And when I open them it seems like nothing's changed
Nothing's changed

If I could sail away
And leave it all behind me
I would if I could sail away

Nothing's gained by giving up
Now we want to make the change, but is that enough?

We got the strength to make it another day
And we all want change
