Contradictions lyrics

Seventeen years in a dead end job,
Telling his dreams to a deaf eared god,
Hangin` on tight by a single thread,
Prayin` for a change.

Everything you could have sacrificed,
Your flesh and blood had it`s own sweet price,
Baby`s all grown up and moved away,
Where`s that leave you now?

It was your own decision,
You made my life your mission.

Somebody tell me,
(it doesnt make no sense at all)
Somebody tell me,
Why we`re living in a world of contradiction.

Why is it so hard to be understood?
Doing so much for the common good,
Sorry if I didn`t see the truth,
The sadness in your eyes.

I wanted to stand on my own two feet,
Looking at life as a one way street,
Thinking that I had it all worked out,
Where`s that leave me now?

We lost communication,
Too many expectations.

Somebody tell me,
(it doesnt make no sense at all)
Somebody tell me,
Why we`re living in a world of contradiction,

Somebody tell me,
(it doesnt make no sense at all)
Somebody tell me,
Why we`re living in a world of contradiction.

Everything I have inside,
I kept it wrapped up tight,
All I know is ...
All I want to know is...

Somebody tell me,
Somebody tell me,
(it doesnt make no sense at all)
Somebody tell me,
Why we`re living in a world of contradiction,
In a world of contradiction.

Seventeen years in a dead end job,
Telling his dreams to a deaf eared god,
Hangin` on tight by a single thread,
Where`s that leave you now
