Mike Tramp - More to Life Than This lyrics

Johnnie's got a gun And it's pointed at the world Another angry young man Waiting to explode He didn't choose this life But it's what he got On the edge of a knife He didn't find much love Now he sits in the doorway looking down hell Nothing to say no one to tell They didn't believe him he said they would pay So many young lives wasted away But there's got to be more to life than this A so called reason why we exist A better way to tell us Why we live and die It's got to be justice for everyone Freedom for all under the Sun A better way to show us Why we live or die Charlie's got a farm That his father built But he ain't growing much But a stack of bills It didn't rain for years And all his cattle died But banks don't care for tears Or how hard you tried You end up dying before you have lived The future wasted the end up ahead He took down his shotgun straight to his head Young Charlie farmer lay dead on his bed But there's got to be more to life than this So called reason why we exist Better way to tell us why we live and die It's gotta be justice for everyone Freedom for all under the Sun A better way to show us why we live or die Billy was a rock n' roll star But it was so long ago Everyone knew his guitar When they heard it on the radio He had a million dollar mansion Up in the Hollywood hills Used to throw the best damn parties With hookers, alcohol and pills But then his long hair got thinner And his Ferrari repossessed IRS took the mansion So he went back to his ex-girlfriend's bed MTV didn't want him They said that rock n' roll is dead No one took his phone calls They had all forgotten his name Somewhere in Texas the story ends Billy's broken without any friends From fame and fortune to where are they now This curtain call was his final bow But there's gotta be more to life than this So called reason why we exist A better way to tell us why we live and die It's gotta be justice for everyone Freedom for all under the Sun A better way to show us why we live or die It's got to be more to life than this So called reason why we exist A better way to tell us why we live and die It's got to be justice for everyone Freedom for all under the Sun A better way to show us why we live or die
