Songtext

You've seen your share of sorrow
But that is not your style
The joy you knew has vanished
Since you're forced to say 'Goodbye!'
And the burden that you carry
It gets tougher all the time
For if you have some work to do you want to earn a dime

Now your smile is getting lonely
Settled in between the chores
'Cause you guard against the pity
That is knocking at your door
And the burden that you carry
It gets tougher all the time
For if you have some work to do you want to earn a dime

Hey, what's new?
Still smiling through
Still smiling through the crying in your heart?
Hey, what's new?
You're smiling but there's sadness in your eyes

You're spending your last penny
Like how else can it be?
Since you're walking proud and straight
So nobody will see
That the burden that you carry
It gets tougher all the time
For if you have some work to do you want to earn a dime

Hey, what's new?

Now you're standing in some market
With that gunshot in your head
But all the money that you're spending
Cannot change the fact he's dead
And the burden that you carry
It gets tougher all the time
For if you have some work to do you want to earn a dime

Hey, what's new?
