Introduction
1
Not much left to hold on for like a leaf in the wind holding on for another stay,
time spinning faster by it sure seems each day,
I'm looking rearward ever further faster while yearning for my past youthful days,
when we all had time for one another and life had such a better pace.
I felt like once I belonged to these people and this place,
Something left and said goodbye fast and beyond memory left no trace,
tears faster too will most certainly from my eyes run back again down fast my face.
Chorus 1:
I'm amazed at the amount of life this place takes.
Amazed at the amount of life this place takes!
Amazed at the amount of life this place takes!

Sometimes by circumstance, its a fact you're around nothing but snakes,
Liars, thieves, hypocrites, and fakes,
It's too easy to quicky start changing your own ways,
Talking different and doing things like never before, whatever it takes.
Whatever what takes?,
It will take your everything and them afterwards, will end your stay,
People act blind to this fact of life,
Yet it surrounds us all everywhere today.

We are under a chemical assault its an economic paradigm mainstay,
Anyway, we must smash that paradigm, any way !!!
Your neighbors are dropping left and right all actors on stage of a really scary social play.
Chemical roulette, could this be your own very day???,
The Dr. Said here try this homie, I hope you'll be okay, patted me on the shoulder as I limped away,
I'm dying & I'm suffering while Doctor rolled out in a Porsche of which my illness helped pay it's way !!!

This is reality today.
Amazed at the amount of life this place takes!
Amazed at the amount of life this place takes!
The old dying faster without an advocate, nothing to say,
and we each move only closer more quickly towards that door.
Amazed at the amount of life this place takes!

Treated like shit, passed over, old, ill, and forgotten when I've got nothing yo offer others to me seen to life their way,
I'm looking rearward ever further faster in yearning for past youthful days,
when we all had time for one another and life had such a better pace,
I felt like once I belonged to these people and this place,
Something left and said goodbye fast and beyond memory left no trace,
tears faster too will most certainly from my eyes run back again down my face.
