[Verse 1]
There comes a day
There'll be a time
When it will all be alright
I'll find the peace I'm craving
But all you say is
"Baby oh don't you lose time"
"Go get up in front of the crowd"
I tell you "I hope you don't mind"
"I'd rather stay home in bed yeah"

[Verse 2]
A freedom dance
Shackles off my feet
If I feel the pressure burning
I know the tides are turning
Still all you say is
'Hurry, and don't you lie down'
'Put on a smile, you'll feel fine'
I tell you 'I hope you don't mind'
'I'd rather stay honest'

[Chorus]
Oh ain't it funny how we try
To get the gold until we die?
Your lifе is an illusion
Oh ain't it funny how we play
These nеver-ending games
'Cause I know we're bound to lose someday

[Verse 3]
There comes a night
Without a doubt
But it will all be alright
The only voice I'll live by
Speaks out of kindness
So baby oh don't you lose time
I tell you it's all in your mind
One day I know you will find
Some peace in your heart, yeah yeah

[Bridge]
So my mind won't fool me
Mind won't fool me
I won't be afraid no more
So I'll do it
So I'll do it all again
All again
I'll be true to you
[Chorus]
Oh ain't it funny how we try
To get the gold until we die?
Your life is an illusion
Oh, ain't it funny how we play
These never-ending games
'Cause I know we're bound to lose someday

[Post-Chorus]
Your life is an illusion
I know we're bound to lose someday
Lose someday, babe
Lose someday, babe
