In The End lyrics - Sheryl Crow

There's a fly on the wall, in the house on the 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 trap, 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 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

There's a man on the cross with His arms open wide

And a fear that they'll quench the world's fires

But His name is a shield to the ones who would fear

Their own power and greed, and desire

In the end

Did you need 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

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 spend it

You see, karma's a drag, you come back as a rat

Dozen 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

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
