When I was young
  I was told what to want
  I've got a wife and babies too
  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
  So I'm giving up
  I'm gonna do what I want
  
  I always worked if I envy part of the scheme of things (?)
  One weeks work one weeks pay
  I find it hard
  The (?) not so easy
  So I'm heading up and moving out
  
  Giving up
  It's a cool reaction
  Oh I'll give it up
  Don't want to fight no more
  Giving up
  Time for easy action
  
  There's always been a feeling down inside of me
  I don't care I (?)
  I'm off the wall
  
  Giving up
  Time for easy action
  I'm giving up
  I'm gonna do just what I want
  Giving up
  It's a cool reaction
  Oh I'll give it up
  Don't want to fight no more
  Giving up
  Time for easy action
  Giving up
  What I wanted was before
  Giving up
  It's a cool reaction
  Giving up
  I shall overcome
