The Business of Life Lyrics

All my dreams fade away
as life gets tougher every day.
Work all day for an extra buck,
hope I am never out of luck.
The deadline's always yesterday,
the game of life is hard to play.
After the banks knock at my door,
you gotta pick me off the floor.

I, I am dreaming
about a different world
where everybody
has time to live their lives.
My life is more than pain... my life is more than pain.
My dreams are not for sale... my dreams are not for sale.

I wake up and go to bed
with my mind on the daily bread.
No time for family and friends.
The circus never seems to end.

I am caught in this routine,
and sometimes feel I cannot win.
But my life can be more than this.
I need to hang on to my dreams.
I am dreaming
about a different world
where everybody
has time to live their lives.

My life is more than pain... my life is more than pain.
My dreams are not for sale... my dreams are not for sale.
