Pappa  won't you see it's been enough

Everywhere you look it seems so though

Isn't there a life that lifts you up

The battle isn't gone, it's going on

Your body's breaking down, but you're acting strong

Isn't there a time to think that maybe you were wrong

Hey now can't you see, life is just to short to not be free

So come on leave this life behind and get that dirty baggage of your mind

Pappa won't you see the time that's gone

Hey now won't you see you'll die alone

Why can't you change your mind, connect with your own sons

The harness of old fashioned do's and don'ts

The family where you grew up with their tied down souls

Why can't you change and find your own goals

Hey now can't you see, life is just to short to not be free

So come on leave this life behind and get that dirty baggage of your mind

Now come on and try

In this life

Now come on and try

in this life
