Whoever said luxury is they answer to misery?
Oh the headaches that come my way
all I ever hear it is the people crying out democracy
I look around the old neighborhood
I see I will not be coming home
tomorrow brings on the songs of sorrow
while I watch the old city burn
Oh, I can hear the cry's
that brings back the fears
But nobody had ever caught my tears
This old nightmare lasted for years
Oh, the luxury that brings on heartaches
can anyone feel my pains?
Oh, here comes the rain
but it has never stopped the burn
even when I gave my life a new turn
But I never known of you in mourning!
and if so you never gave me a warning
it's already morning
But the shadows are still standing around
like I am in a ghost town
I had learned to cover up my pains
I now started dancing in the pouring rain
while others think I am insane
If I was to cry would anyone ever care?
if I was to fall would anyone catch me?
I think I already have known the answer to that
everything is still the same old thing
someone is always looking to give blame
But don't look my way
because I will only give it back to you
Don't look at me as if your confused
all you ever gave me was your misery you call luxury.
