After All (From The Sun)

(Oh, boy!)

When you try to compete, but they've already won
And the family you lift, it weighs a ton
When everything's already said and done
And you're standing alone in the mid-day sun

And the water's dried up upon the shore
And you just cannot give them any more
When you're finally rich, but they're still poor
There's gonna be something you can't ignore

Thus, the world is set on fire
Yeah, I tried to warn off everyone, but they never did learn
Yeah, I'm only scared of dying if I've got something left to give

When you're lightyears away from getting off
And all of the radicals are getting soft
When the stubborn old man, he lives to scoff
And the rest of the world is too aloft

When the water's dried up upon the shore
And you just cannot give them any more
When you're finally rich, but they're still poor
There's gonna be something you can't ignore

Thus, the world is set on fire
Yeah, I tried to warn off everyone, but they never did learn
Yeah, I'm only scared of dying if I have something left to give
