Lyrics:

When I was young
I was told what to want
I caught a wife and babies too
Oh, I've tried so hard
But all my feelings have gone
So have my wife and money too

So I'm giving up
Time for easy action
Oh, I'm giving up
I'm gonna do what I want

I always worked to try any part of the scheme of things
One weeks work for one weeks pay
I find it hard, the parting lines not so easy
So I'm heading up and moving out

Giving up
It's a cool reaction
Oh, I'm giving up
Don't want to fight no more

Giving up
Time for easy action

There's always been a feeling deep down inside of me
I don't care at all, I'm up the wall

Giving up
Time for easy action
Oh, I'm giving up
I'm gonna do just what I want

Giving up
It's a cool reaction
Oh, I'm giving up
I don't want to fight no more

Giving up
Time for easy action
Giving up
What I wanted once before

Giving up
It's a cool reaction
Giving up
I shall overcome
