If this is the life for men to live
Tell me who is to blame and who is to fool
I can't believe this nonsense that we live
If it makes you wanna say you tried
I guess you try
We can only try
You know I try
Oh whoa
We can only try
What do I say to the common people, please?
Stop giving up.
What do I say to the broken hearted, please?
Keep moving on.
If this is the life for men to live, tell me who is to blame and who is to fool
I can't believe this nonsense that we live, if it makes you wanna say you tried
I guess you try, we can only try
Oh, I try, I know you try, we can only try
There is no sense in wanting the things we could lose
There is no sense in wanting the things we could lose
If this is the life for men to live, tell me who is to blame and who is to fool
I can't believe this nonsense that we live, if it makes you wanna say you tried
You try, I guess you try
Me, I can only try
Oh, me I try
Oh, we try
Oh, I guess we try
