In the End Songtext
von Sheryl Crow

There′s a fly on the wall in the house on a hill
Where the king of the world watches TV
And the people await for his latest mandate
To a nation of angry believers

His words are a drug, while his loyal band of thugs
Cover up all his many transgressions
The fly, lands on his ear and whispers, "What's there to fear
As long as you′re still the obsession?"

Is it too late to turn back now?
Too late to see the light?
Do you make a vow to heaven and hell?
When you wake up at night, do you ask yourself?


In thе end
Did you feed them?
How'd you treat thеm?
Is it so hard to love?
In the end
Like you mean it
Like you've seen it
You get back what you give
In the end

There′s a man on the cross with His arms open wide
And a tear that will quench the world′s fires
But His name is a shield to the ones who would weild
Their own power and greed and desire

In thе end
Did you need them?
How'd you treat thеm?
Is it so hard to love?
In the end
Like you mean it
Like you′ve seen it
You get back what you give
In the end

Is it so hard to love?
In the end
You get back what you give
In the end


You'll only live once, or maybe you′ll live twice
Depending on how well you spent it
You see, karma's a drag, you come back as a rat
Dodging traps, they′ll bite your own descendants

Is it too late to turn back now?
Too late to turn around?
You'll get one chance in this life
You can turn around things or you can close your eyes

In the end
Did you feed them?
How'd you treat them?
Is it so hard to love?
In the end
Like you mean it
Like you′ve seen it
You get back what you give

In the end
Did you hear them?
Did you feed them?
Is it so hard to love?
In the end
Like you mean it
Like you′ve seen it
You get back what you give
In the end

You get back what you give
In the end
Oh, in the end
Oh, in the end
