Your heats been on so long
Your burning
The smoke will never let you see through
Look me in the eye and tell me what you think of you
Your sermons will not be remembered, no
Your lessons are not to be learned
Things may come easy in your life
But respect is something you must earn
How do you live your life
As the years go by
Time is not on your side, open your eyes
How do you live your life
Is it all a lie
You and your pride
One day you'll wake up to find
Twenty years have passed you by
Maybe you'll change your ways
Before God turns out your light
You have caused me pain and heartache
I will no longer let you come in
A tip of the hourglass will hold back its sand
A tip of one's stature holds back the man
How do you live your life
As the years go by
Time is not on your side, open your eyes
How do you live your life
Is it all a lie
You and your pride
How do you sleep at night
When only you can make it right
How do you live your life
As the years go by
Time is not on your side, open your eyes
How do you live your life
Is it all a lie
You and your pride
How do you live your life
As the years go by
Time is not on your side, open your eyes
How do you sleep at night
