lyrics

Are we driftin' like fools, takin' what we're given?
Are we hearded like sheep while we try to keep on livin?
You try to justify yoiur spirit deep inside
But it ain't no consolation when you almost lost your mind.

How am I supposed to fight when the fightin takes your life?
How am I supposed to see when the truth is out of sight?
How am I supposed to know how to make a decent life?
Have we all lost our souls are made a sacrifice?
How am I suppposed to try when I gotta live a lie?
When I'm lookin in the mirror but I can't see eye to eye
Yeah how am I supposed to fight, how am i supposed to fight

Why I am supposed to care when a rat race ain't my game
If it boils down to that then it's just a cryin' shame
But I got no one to blame

How am I supposed to know when I've been burned before
Believing in a love that headed out the door?
You we're thrown out in this world where no one's got a clue
The wise men only act like they know the real truth

How am I supposed to know?
Why am I supposed to care?
It's all so complicated and I'm just a simple man.
How am I supposed to know?
How am I supposed to know?
I'm always on the run but I got no place to go
Yeah How am I supposed to know?

I would love to fingerpick and sing just like Blind Blake but as everyone knows, this is like becoming the Buddha.
