Secret to Life Lyrics by Barry Zito

No Secrets

0

[Verse 1]
It ain't about the money
That you got in the bank
It ain't about how many
Hearts that you can break
It don't matter how many
People know your name
Even though that's what they say
[Verse 2]
It ain't about what place you get
In the races that you run
It ain't about the big game
That comes rolling off your tongue
Or if you got good looks
Like Elvis did when he was 21
Even though it is to some
[Pre-Chorus]
One thing I've learned from
All these damn mistakes of mine
It's never worth the chase
When chasing temporary highs
But I had to try
[Chorus]
Yeah, the world's got a seat on top
I saw it once, it wasn't what I thought
I came back down, now I'm better off
I may not know the secret to life
But I know what it's not
[Verse 3]
You can live up on the hill
Or you can live under the tracks
You can have a clean record
Or some dark spots on your past
But we're all in this together
We're all under attack
And we need answers fast
Yeah, we need 'em fast
[Pre-Chorus]
One thing I've learned from
All these damn mistakes of mine
It's never worth the chase
When chasing temporary highs
But I had to try
[Chorus]
Yeah, the world's got a seat on top
I saw it once, it wasn't what I thought
I came back down, now I'm better off
I may not know the secret to life
But I know what it's not
[Outro]
Yeah, the world's got a seat on top
I saw it once, it wasn't what I thought
I may not know the secret to life
But I know what it's not
Yeah, I know what it's not
