It's easy money for an easy show
Don't make waves or let your feelings show
You made us into something we never wanted to be
You ask for nothin', you just simply control
Move our bodies, hold on tightly to our souls
And oh-so slowly I can feel the change in me

Gotta be so strong, so strong just to carry on
(In this world)
Gotta be so strong, so strong just to carry on
(In this world)

Laid your bets, drew your starting line
Issued papers now I know my race, my creed, my kind
And I can see no reason why it has to be this way
I can see an answer, I can see a time
When money changes, it makes it all seem so worthwhile
And love takes over, fills up the need in me, yeah

Gotta be so strong, so strong just to carry on
(In this world)
Gotta be so strong, so strong just to carry on
(In this world)
Oh

(Be so strong)
Oh, in this world
(Be so strong)
You just got to hold on
(In this world)

Gotta be so strong, so strong
(Be so strong)
Just to carry on
(In this world)
Gotta be so strong, so strong
(Be so strong)
Just to carry on
(In this world)

(Be so strong)
(In this world)
(Be so strong)
(In this world)
