No Way to Be

Waiting for the daybreak
Walking towards the sun
Going through the motions
I ain't got much done

I made a million dollars
It never bought me truth
All I wanted, a little bit more, and
the hangman's got the noose

It's no way, no way
It’s no way to be free
No way, no way
That's no way to be free
Ain't no amount of money
Gonna set my soul free
No way, no way
That's no way to be

I'm putting all my treasure
In words that you might say
Did I make you happy
Did I ease your pain?
My face is on a billboard
Now you know my name
It felt good for a week or two
But fortune always fades

It's no way, no way
Its' no way to be free
No way, no way
That's no way to be free
Ain't no amount of glory
Gonna set my soul free
No way, no way
That's no way to be

No way, no way
No way to be free
No way, no way
That's no way to be
Ain't no amount of money
Gonna set my soul free
No way, no way
That's no way to be

No way, no way
No way to be free
No way, no way
That's no way to be
Ain't no amount of glory
Gonna set my soul free
No way, no way
That's no way to be
