The magnificence of knowledge
Is like a heavy pile of shiny gold
That can strain your mental back
As you're gracefully growing old

So spend your pile wisely
And teach your people well
Overshadowed by your light
Is the presence of their hell
...
WINNERS AND LOSERS

Winners and losers, turn the pages of my life
We're beggars and choosers, with all the struggles and the strife
I got no reason to turn my head and look the other way
We're good and we're evil, which one will I be today?

There's saints and sinners
Life's a gamble and you might lose
There's cowards and heroes
Both have been known now to break the rules
There's lovers and haters
The strong and the weak will all have their day
We're devils and angels
Which one will I be today?

Chorus:
Are you happy now with all the choices you've made?
Are there times in life when you know you should've stayed?
Will you compromise and then realize the price is too much to pay?
Winners and losers, which one will you be today?

There's a light and a dark side
Standing at the crossroads, there we'll meet
There's prophets and fools there
The lies and the truth, will be at our feet
I got a reason to turn my head and look the other way
Its heaven and hell here, which one will I live today?
