A poignant reflection on the struggles of keeping up with others, and the sense of defeat that can come with it. The song captures the feeling of being stuck in a cycle of trying and failing, and the weariness that can result from that.
They're winning
I know its not fair, but what is?
I've given up hope
I've stood in line so many times
How could I do it all again?
They're starting
To run out of steam
Fall to their knees
The headaches and worries and crying
And bills to pay
How could they keep it up so long?
