Some people have it all and some want to gain
Powers that be might take it all away
There's plenty of reasons in this world
Well I'm not saying there's nothing wrong as the day comes along
Get up and start, needs to be done
To put it along or stand and still
But I'm not saying there's nothing wrong as the day comes along
Well a man in tie burgers out for breakin' his twenty dollar bill
It's running down, there's much you missed
Same old walls closing in, oh what a life a mess can be
Well time won't wait, better open the gate
Songwriters: Jay Farrar, Mike Heidorn, Jeff Tweedy
It's the simple ones beat the most truth, oh what a life a mess can be
Together we burn, together we burn away

Together we burn, together we burn away
What I see is true I could learn to believe, can't look away
Hometown same town blues
Well time won't wait better open the gate
I'm sitting here thinking of you, won't you give few thoughts to me
What I see is true I could learn to believe, can't look away
Get up and start what needs to be done
It's winding down, there's much you missed
There's too much time spent looking for a reason
Some say a land of paradise
Together we burn, together we burn away
But I'm not saying there's nothing wrong as the day comes along
The powers that be might take it all away
Some say a land of pain
Well which side are you looking from
Working on that graveyard shift
Working on that graveyard shift
What I see is true I could learn to believe, can't look away
The powers that be might take it all away
I'm sitting here thinking of you, won't you give few thoughts to me
