Everybody's got a secret life Got their stars and stripes, got a sunrise You can see it when they roll their eyes to the neon lights in the night time And if you want it, it don't matter much You can never get enough You're searching for what? A better life? A dollar sign? I blew my heart out trying for what? A paradise I'll never find I'm not surprised But maybe I'm just feeling lucky 'cause my hands are tied And my mouth is dry And I won't fight And I've been acting like I'm on your side And I don't know why And I don't mind I don't wanna 'cause I have no luck And I never ask for much Except for a shock A better life A dollar sign I blew my heart out trying for what? A paradise I'll never find I'm not surprised But, maybe I was? Yer, maybe I was? You're trying too much Well, maybe it's never gonna be enough You're searching for what A better life A dollar sign I blew my heart out trying for what? A paradise I'll never find I'm not surprised But, maybe I was? Ohh, ohhh
