The Hollies
What's Wrong With The Way I Live?
(Alan Clarke/Tony Hicks/Graham Nash)
Track 2 on album 'For Certain Because' (December 1966)
{Chorus:}
What's wrong with the way I live,
the way I use my time?
People should live their lives,
leaving me to mine, leaving me to mine.
I'm a man who is defending
all his rights to live in peace.
And my job is never-ending for me
Ever since I was a young man,
people tried to get at me,
tried to bring me down and hurt me
and I'm losing, losing.
{chorus, mandolin solo by Graham Nash}
They persist in rearranging
all my days to suit them best,
but the future will be changing for me.
I'm a man who is defending
all his rights to live in peace.
And my job is never-ending,
but they're losing, losing.
{chorus}
And they're losi-ing.
