What in this world, feels so alive   Makes us, then breaks us, then helps us survive   Buries our hopes, then revives our desire to succeed   We're all greed      Who in this world sees when I cry   Throws me, then shows me that I'm justified   Measure my worth, then decide that I'm not what they need   They've agreed      Where in this world can I hide?   Where can I find someone   That sees me inside to confide      How in this world can I go on   Wondering if you'll think of me when I'm gone?   Shielding my eyes from the pitiless light of the glare   Should you care?      When in this world is it enough?   I never thought it could be quite this rough   Living my life as if millions of people don't stare   They're not there      Why should I have to defend or derive   Most of the rules of the game, I've defied   Though it's been hard on my pride   It's been one hell of a ride      Curiously   I didn't set out to be famous
