Scarred but Smarter Lyrics

Well I'm out of work, I'm out of hope
What should be of thee I spoke
Good times for the undeserved
And hard times for the ones who work
Poor man, rich man, blind man, dead man
Hoped for more than they had all planned
Just then they suffered a serious blow
As the real world cuts the line you hold

Nobody said it would be fair
They warned you before you went out there
There's always a chance to get restarted
To a new world, new life, scarred but smarter

Is it right to wish the poor man rich?
Is it right to wish the rich man poor?
I hope all that's well is well ends fair
Wished thy neighbors life to despair
Being so mad that I stop crying
No payoff for all my trying
To do it right, to never fail
Wishing for some fairy tale

Nobody said it would be fair
They warned you before you went out there
There's always a chance to get restarted
To a new world, new life, scarred but smarter

Well the way my life it turns all around
Dropping things to do that I've found
I think how foolish I must have looked
To think I could be down for good
Nobody said it would be fair
They warned you before you went out there
Karma or justice, whatever you call it
It's really there just keep looking for it

Nobody said it would be fair
They warned you before you went out there
Karma or justice, whatever you call it
It's really there just keep looking for it

Nobody said it would be fair
They warned you before you went out there
There's always a chance to get restarted
To a new world, new life, scarred but smarter
