Van Morrison - It Once Was My Life Lyrics
There were people on the sidewalksStrolling down the avenuesThey were sitting outside in cafesWe were looking for the museWell I was locked in by the systemWhere no freedom is the ruleNow I spend all my time just tryingTo make it understoodIt once was my life, thats what everybody saidAll the things I used to do and the people that were friendsIve got to make it mean something at the end of the dayIt once was my life, they cant take that awayTrials and tribulations and stupidity still rulesSometimes it looks like Im on a ship of foolsIt once was my life, when my message was just the streetThen it became something else, and now its incompleteIm just trying to get back to whenCan somebody please shed some lightIt used to be my life, it used to be uptightTrials and tribulations and stupidity still rulesSome days it just feels like Im on a ship of foolsIm back here on the boards, I can hear the engines roarEverybodys got to pay, some people got to pay moreWell you can tell the people anythingSpoon feed them anything you likeIt used to be so simple, it used to be my lifeNow everything is so complicated, just to speak or use the phoneSome people try to use me, just cause they dont have their ownDont know whos round the corner, trying to sell me some more tripeIt used to be my life, it used to be my life.....
