lyrics

It Isn’t Fair

Finally I’ve got some time to breathe
Some time to relax and just some time to live
Well I don’t really care what you think
It isn’t fair, it isn’t fair

Well you know I think it’s you not me
The reason that I cannot sleep
All those things that are keeping me awake at night
All those thoughts, creatures I have to fight, in my mind

Though we might be at the stage when life is changing
It doesn’t mean we’re capable of anything
Well you be careful now ‘cause we might bite
We’re like a pack of dogs when we fight

Chorus

Well some can’t see what we want
Don’t understand our way of thinking
Can’t they see I am checking my watch
Can’t they see we are checking our watches
Can’t they see I am checking my watch
Can’t they see we are checking our watches

Finally I’ve got some time to breathe
Some time to relax and just some time to live
Well I don’t really care what you think
But now it’s fair, now it’s fair
