Not Anymore
Total Chaos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Standing on the streets "man" I'm all alone
No job - no girl, nothing of my own
Looks like I've got no future, my life's gone
Well, I don't care - no not anymore
My life's not fair - but I'll even the score
You can't take it - I can't take it
I think I'm outta control
You can't take it - I can't take it
I think I'm gonna explode
I'm living on the edge, with no where to go
Looks like I've got no plan, no not anymore
I've got to get my life back, got to have control
Looks like I've got no future, my life's blown
Just wreckage from the past, this life will not last
No life of my own, my future is gone
Ain't got no freedom, just keep on dreamin'
Lost in a fading past, in a way it cannot last
