No Matter Who You Are

No matter who you are no matter what you do

There's gonna be someone wants something else from you

Yeah

This is an ancient test, it's a shiny lie

Discover somethin' pure then sit and watch it die

Yeah

No matter who you are no matter where you've 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
