    Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    If you want somewhere to go when the day is done
    If from the world appear in frustration, you try to run
    Well, don’t look ahead because your problems have just begun
    Life is a struggle, and no one has ever won
    [Verse 2]
    When hardships, misery and sorrow has got you down
    And your mind needs relief from the sadness that is all around
    Well, don’t look ahead because your problems have just begun
    Life is a struggle, and no one has ever won
    [Verse 3]
    You know that the world is cruel, so why pretend
    And everything you do brings you closer to the end
    You can never be content, so why do you even try
    The only thing you do on earth is live and die
    {Alright, wail.}
    [Solo]
    [Verse 4]
    When hardships, misery and sorrow got down
    And your mind needs relief from the sadness that is all around
    Well, don’t look ahead because your problems have just begun
    Life is a struggle, and no one has ever won

      what depressing negative lyrics. Wonderful. I thought for a minute as I read them that they were going to lead into Buddhism, the four noble truths and the path to enlightenment after admitting that life is cruel but there is a way out

      That's, why Jim Morrison said: "No one gets out here alive". This was those type of lyrics and what was written at the time. Because in reality no one gets out of this life alive. Life may be a struggle but yet it's still worth living.

    Жизнь - это борьба, в которой нельзя победить... Исход всегда один. Никогда не думал что этой истине меня научит песня гаражного рока из середины шестидесятых. Все философы которых я читал углубляются в вопросы жизни и смерти, сами по себе представляя ничто иное как проявление жизни. Они живут в голове у миллионов людей, даже если давно умерли. Но эта песня, она кажется полузабытой, и трудно представить сколько людей умрет так не послушав её. Это напоминает мне комнату, обклееную картинами таежного леса, и сам таежный лес, где комната - это мнение философии, а лес - эта песня. Чтобы изучить лес, нужно хотя бы раз побывать в нем лично, так и чтобы узнать о смерти, нужно хоть раз увидеть то, что умирало. Как хорошо что такой музыки так много, и как здорово чувствовать себя одним из немногих кто даёт ей жизнь. Боюсь того дня, когда я прослушаю все песни шестидесятых ... Автору спасибо за видео!
