We break out of school Find a girl and we're gone Blinded by dreams We follow the throng We work ourselves to death Trying to find significance Trying to fill the void That haunts our existence But don't let it show We don't let 'em know And all of my life I've been afraid of myself Been putting on a mask for everyone else Scared of the future, scared 'cause I know I'm just a kid in grown-up clothes The meaning of life is to find your way home The kingdoms of man Are paper thin and hollow The sex is showbiz And the love is shallow And everyone tries to sell you Everyone tries to buy you They build you up With the Hollywood dreams That cannot satisfy you And one day you will die And they will not be beside you No no no No no no No no no But where do you go when nobody needs you How do you keep sane When you just want to scream The older you get, the further you go 'Til your looking at someone you don't even know The meaning of life is to find you way home The kingdoms of man Are paper thin and hollow The sex is showbiz And the love is shallow And everyone tries to sell you Everyone tries to buy you They build you up With the Hollywood dreams That cannot satisfy you And one day you will pass And they will not be beside you No no no No no no No no no Well I've torn away everything that was pure And I've followed a thousand false prophets and whores And it taints my eye, all the darkness I've seen Is there some way lord I can get clean The meaning of life is to find you way home The meaning of life is to find you way home
