When the going gets tough, the tough get going I'm told
And if you can't stand the heat in here, step out in the cold
The times ain't getting any better and I don't know why
It seems like the whole world doesn't even want to try
It's a means to an end, it's a means to an end

I can't control what people gonna say to me
I won't waste my time trying to show what they just won't see
Then I look in the mirror and I try to place the blame
In the end I can see we are acting just the same
It's a means to an end, it's a means to an end

What can a person do
When we don't know what is true?
Will we find our salvation?
Can we try to clear the way
To hear what others have to say?
As we sow our own creation

Who's gonna take the heat when the place burns down?
Will we point our fingers when we're laying in the ground?
The means to the end is all we can choose
And there ain't no risk when there's nothing left to lose
It's a means to an end, it's a means to an end

What can a person do
When we don't know what is true?
Will we find our salvation?
Can we try to clear the way
To hear what others have to say?
As we sow our own creation

What can a person do
When we don't know what is true?
Will we find our salvation?
Can we try to clear the way
To hear what others have to say?
As we sow our own creation

It's a means to an end
