Flowers, they bloom, and then they die
Lovers, they swoon, and then they cry
Does that mean the future is lies?
Cause people say they believe in love
And they say their love is from above
But then they say, “Goodbye”
But I want something different, different
And I want something constant, constant
And I want someone to share time and fear and love
Parents will yell and expect us to behave
Even when they don’t show the way
No wonder we think God is so angry
Teachers tell us we must make the grade
Bosses are tough and we must earn our pay
All so we can die anyway
Chorus
Can we learn to live this way?
Can we learn to live this way?
We can learn to live this way
We can learn to live this way
Chorus
