I know that you see the world as gray
though the sky is blue
and if you see a gloomy day
then what you see makes it true

you want understanding
you want your dreams to come true
you think I'm too demanding
when the one you really hate is you

when the bastards get you down
it's too hard for you to fly
baby, you only make it worse
when you buy into those lies

You search for love and passion
while they want someone to screw
you'll never find the conviction
if you can't see what you pursue

oh, you tell me life ain't fair
and you want someone to sue
I tell you not to care
paint the sky another hue

and when the bastards get you down
it's too hard for you to fly
baby, that's what you think
but you'll never know until you try

Oh, it's a cold world out there
you only want someone to care
here's the one thing you won't see
listen to the words I speak

it's all about your perspective
connect yourself to the collective
you have all you need within
and that's where you must begin

and when the bastards get you down
it's too hard for you to fly
baby, you've got to spread your wings,
take off into the sky

when you woke up that morning
you already knew what to do
you took off without warning
skipped out on this crazy zoo

you went to California
you had a major breakthrough
you had this crazy idea
to make the world into something new

and when the bastards got you down
it was too hard for you to fly
baby, you would'nt let 'em
you took off into blue sky
