This Way

In a world where not much means a thing
You made an offering of love
And no one seems to care
It's sad as time goes marching by
We need to justify the lies
We're selling to ourselves
Don't it leave you incomplete?
All alone with your defeated pride, lost innocence
You're searching for a reason but you've lost it deep inside
Things don't have to be this way
Why must there always be a price to pay?
No, things don't have to be this way, ah, ha, ha, ha
If I could I'd fix those things done wrong
I'd build my world big and strong
And I would keep it to myself
Don't it leave you incomplete?
All alone with your defeated pride, lost innocence
You're searching for a reason but you've lost it deep inside
And a voice inside your head
Assuring of coming dread
Let's blame the world instead, it's so easy
Things don't have to be this way
Why must there always be a price to pay?
No, things don't have to be this way, ah, ha, ha, ha
This way, things don't have to be this way
Why must there always be a price to pay?
No, things don't have to be this way, ah, ha, ha, ha
This way, things don't have to be this way
Why must there always be a price to pay?
No, things don't have to be this way, ah, ha, ha, ha
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ah, ah, ah
