More of the Same But I Can't Complain

More of the Same But I Can't Complain

The hours, the days

They turn the gears

Grind down my dreams

Settle my fate

Yes, it's a shame

But I can't complain.

They looked away

When I tried to sing

The songs in my heart

But they've heard

Them before

And that's a real shame

But I can't complain.

A loss or a gain

Time is a wheel

Fleeting is fame

Sometimes we fail

To do what is right

I know it's a shame

But I can't complain.

It is what it is

And I've seen a lot

But there's much 

More to come

And time's flyin' by

I know it's a shame

But I can't complain.
