Lyrics

Runner

Love and hate decide
Money grows and dies
People never change
But I have to try, try, try, try

Love and hate decide
Money grows and dies
People never change
But I have to try, try, try, try

Love and hate decide
Money grows and dies
People never change
But I have to try, try, try

Love and hate decide
Money grows and dies
People never change
But I have to try, try, try, try

Love and hate decide
Money grows and dies
People never change
But I have to try, try, try, try

Take it on the chin, never gonna win
Turn the other cheek and I take it on the chin
Take it on the chin, never gonna win
Turn the other cheek and I take it on the chin

Take it on the chin, never gonna win
Turn the other cheek and I take it, take it
Take it on the chin, never gonna win
Turn the other cheek and I take it on the chin

Take it on the chin, never gonna win
Turn the other cheek and I take it, take it
Take it on the chin, never gonna win
Turn the other cheek and I take it on the chin

Love and hate subside
Money grows and dies
People never change
But I have to try (I think I have to try)
Try (I'm scared and I don't know why)
Try (you don't even know the first thing)

Those that try, those that don't
Now you act surprised that you're alone
Dishonestly is honestly the mark that you must live with
Those that will, those that won't
You're lying to yourself about control

Love and hate decide
Money, murder, lies
The future is the same
Why try, try, try? (Try, try, why try? Why try? Why try?)
