Lyrics: No Matter Who You Are

No matter who you are
no matter what you do
there's going to be someone
wants something else from you
yeah

this is ancient test
it's a shining light
discover something pure
and sit and watch it die
yeah

no matter who you are
no matter where you been
no matter what you've done
you'll have to start again
no matter who you are

between the soaring dreams
and the bottom line
so much is given up
so much is left behind
yeah

this is the price you pay
this is the beast you feed
when you abandon hope
and you give in to greed

no matter who you are
no matter who you've been
you'll have to sort it out
and start again
no matter who you are
no matter who you are

don't take this wrong
don't let it bring you down
it's just the way things work
in this great big town
yeah

no matter who you are
no matter who you are
no matter who you are
