Half step down

Verse

You work hard now

To put the food on the table

You're working for the men

Who don't even know your name

Chorus

That's the way that it goes

 When you're down here with the rest of us

Verse

You might lose now

Your beautiful children

Your happy home, yeah

And your beautiful wife

Chorus

That's the way that it goes

 When you're down here with the rest of us

You'll suffer hard now

As you bury

Your loved ones

You'll suffer hard now

When you lose your best friend

That's the way that it goes

When you're down here with the rest of us

That's the way that it goes

And I know how you feel

Solo

(same as before)

No ones immune now

To a world of problems

No ones exempt now

From a world of pain

That's the way that it goes

When you're down here with the rest of us

I try hard now

To do the right thing

Yet I wonder

Why I still do what's wrong

That's the way that it goes

When you're down here with the rest of us

That's the way that it goes

And I know how you feel
