GIVE IT UP

We live in hope of love
And wait to die
And sadness all around us
Waits for crying
And feelings
That once meant so much
Are left to dry and turn to dust
And ashes

We learn to wheel and deal
And say goodbye
And madness all around us
Makes for dyin'
Young deceivers soon turn old
And left to die amongst their gold
And cash it

Give it up or we live just to die
Give it up (give it up)
Give it up, give yourself time
(Give it up)
Give it up, save yourself
Give it up (Give it up)
Give it up (Give it up)

We drive a million miles to see the sun
Hoping we are not too late for saving
The Lord will smile on you today
And give you love that you can trade
For matches and TV and movie stars
And driving cars as cashes

Give it up or we live just to die
Give it up (give it up)
Give it up, give yourself time
(Give it up)
Give it up, save yourself
Give it up (Give it up)
Give it up (Give it up)
Give it up
