Caught in a wheel
This city never sleeps
It's taking everything to keep up
Awake before the sun
I'll try not to be too loud
And kiss you soft on my way out
We're going round and round
Life is sweet
But it's been a bitter road
We've been bruised by sticks and stones
Let's ride the highs
And fight the lows
It's gonna be alright
You take the sticks, I'll take the stones
It's work every day
Like fighters in a ring
Some hits hurt and some just sting
We try to get ahead
But we can't get off the ground
There's too much noise to make a sound
We're going round and round
Life is sweet
But it's been a bitter road
We've been bruised by sticks and stones
Let's ride the highs
And fight the lows
It's gonna be alright
You take the sticks, I'll take the stones
You take the sticks, I'll take the stones
Cause from these sticks we'll build our home
