Author unknown (sung by Dewey Bunnell) Found on Heard. Oh, I wish that I could find the reason why Living isn't really giving Oh, I wish that I could find the reason why Living isn't really giving But I don't care how long it takes For the days to get nice 'Cause me and my friends, you know we're ready And willing to pay the price Oh, la la la .... Way deep down inside I know I'm on a free ride But when the green light turns to red Who is living, who is dead They've taken out the river And they've put in a cement road It's made the going a whole lot lighter But made a much heavier load I don't know how long I can go on like this Don't know how long I can go on like this Don't know how long I can go on like this I see the light switch on the wall With no legs I'm still tall We might not make it at all I can see the river and the little place where I would swim Where did it all begin I wish I knew Oh, I wish that I could find the reason why Living isn't really giving Isn't really giving Isn't really giving
