Never the Bright Lights - Rivermaya

I see the people walking down the streets at night

They all look like they long for a fight

It's like a dream where everybody is for sale

In a country where they're angry and the sky is pale

We always want something more hell we want it all

Then you can go back to your life if that's what it's called

It's such a terrible fate to be young and ugly

To be faced but so much uncertainty

You better keep your sanity

You better keep your sanity

Bright lights go up big city come down

Bright lights go up big city come down

Bright lights go up big city come down

Bright lights go up big city come down

All this confusion

Gives you notions of self-destruction

So you think of something I'll to keep us together

He may be black he may be white

But they don't need to fight

In a city where there's too much violence already

Look at the sky its dirty and it's gray and filthy

And today looks just like yesterday

You ask yourself how long can a bad thing last

When we are sodden to our knees with so much strife

They say it's meant to change your life

They say it's meant to change your life

Bright lights go up big city come down

Bright lights go up big city come down

Bright lights go up big city come down

Bright lights go up big city come down

I see the people walking down the street at night

And they all look like they long for a fight

Just like the old man said

What are you gonna do with your life

Never the bright lights

Never the bright lights
