Lyrics - Other People's Lives by Don Johnson

Where the grass is always greenerwhere the grass don't growyou see everything in colour till you see it close.
Everybody els's street looks like it's painted golddon't it always go that way ?
Suzy wanted money to spendwanted some rich older manto take her from the world she was livingin to the world on the other side.
Suzy was bored with her lifewanted something more to do with hernightsshe said: someday
I'm just gonna pack it upand leave this all behind !
She wanted a piece of paradiseshe wanted a change of sceneshe wanted to live the priviledged life and nothing in-between.
Other people's lives always look so easywhen you're standing on the other sideother people's lives.
Johnny was tired of working all dayworking for the pennies for payhe said:
Anybody's life in the worldhas gotta be better than the life
I got.
Johnny had big things in mindhad big dreams just burning insidehe said:
Someday
I wanna climb my way out of thisclimb my way right to the top !
He wanted a piece of paradisehe wanted to break awayhe wanted to live the easy lifeyou know what people say:
Other people's lives always look so easywhen you're standing on the other side.
Other people's lives always look so easywhen you're seing them through different eyesother people's lives.
Where the grass is always greenerwhere the grass don't growyou see everything in colour till you see it close.
Everybody els's street looks like it's painted golddon't it always go that way ?
Suzyshe's got the money to spendmarried some rich older manhe gives her everything in the world she needseverything but love.
Johnnyhe's got the job of his dreamsnow he wonders is this what it all means ?
He sais:
Sometimes you can have it all and still it's not enough.
He wanted a piece of paradiseshe wanted a change of dreamsbut sometimes you know that paradise ain't always what it seems.
Other people's lives always look so easywhen you're standing on the other side.
Other people's lives always look so easywhen you're seing them through different eyesother people's lives.
Other people's lives always look much betterwhen you're seeing them through different eyesother people's livesother peoples's lives.
Other people's lives always look much betterwhen you're seeing them through different eyesother people's lives
