200 Years

200 Years
Lyrics:
200 Years, from today, nothing in your life will matter
No one you know, will hear what you say, don't bother feeling so flattered

You might hear the call or take a fall, cheat on your wife or take a life
Get real high or stay real dry or booze it
You might have a girl or have a boy, play it up or act real coy
You might feel secure or you could even lose it


The days go by, as you save, you worry that you're getting older
Just take a look, beyond the grave, you'll see you're only getting colder

Don't bother with arithmetic, it's only there to make you sick
The numbers game is what they want you playing
In a money world you cannot win, it's not a place you should be in
They'll lead you on as long as you keep paying
(BREAK – solo)

200 years, from right now, no one will write you a letter
They won't ask why, they won't ask how, or know you when you felt better

You'll lose the joy and lose the pain, won't see the sun or feel the rain
You won't hear the same old words that will be spoken
All the times that you were sad will feel the same as when you were glad
And you won't care if it works or if it's broken
(BREAK)

When you feel you're on your way, I wonder if you'll curse or pray
I wonder if you'll have the guts to show it

Whatever in this world you find, will always end up left behind
And you'll be the only one to know it

200 Years, 200 Years …
