The weight of living [x4]

All that you desired, when you were a child

Was to be old, was to be old

Now that you are here, suddenly you fear

You've lost control (lost control)

Do you like the person you've become, or....

[Chorus]

Under the weight of living

You're under the weight of living

Under the weight of living

You are under the weight of living

The weight of living, the weight of living

It all crept up on you, in the night it got you

And plagued your mind, it plagues your mind

Every day that passes, faster than the last did

And you'll be old soon, you'll be old

Do you like the person you've become, or....

[Chorus]

Under the weight of living

You're under the weight of living

Under the weight of living

You are under the weight of living

The weight of living, the weight of living

(Tell yourself this is how it's going to be)

(Tell yourself this is how it's going to be)

Oh, tell yourself this is how it's going to be

Oh, tell yourself this is how it's going to be, or....

[Chorus]

Under the weight of living

You're under the weight of living

Under the weight of living

You are under the weight of living

The weight of living, the weight of living

The weight of living, the weight of living
