Hey man where you been |
|
You can't run away |
|
From the life you made your own |
|
Now that it's gone and left you down and out |
|
You're not so complete |
|
Now what do you say |
|
All the answers you propose |
|
Nobody chose to hear this time around |
|
Hey man you're so vain |
|
You rise up again |
|
To perform to pressure now |
|
No way to treat that precious heart at all |
|
Calm down you're too proud |
|
Now what do you know |
|
You present some facts to face |
|
But nobody chose to look this time around |
|
Head in the clouds |
|
No silver lining |
|
What could be wrong |
|
Hey man why so blue |
|
What's come over you |
|
Sentimental apathy |
|
Ain't gonna buy no sympathy today |
|
Wide world wearing thin |
|
Wild words deafening |
|
Shout about integrity |
|
And then you go and throw your dignity away |
|
We're all the same |
|
We're all to blame |
|
What could be wrong, yeah |
|
Hey man you got carried away |
|
Carrying on the games that you play |
|
Playing is not the way to win |
|
'cos winning can be a way that you lose |
|
And losing is not the way you would choose |
|
Given the choice you're trying to change |
|
Changing again you're carried away |
|
Do you remember the day |
|
So long ago so far behind |
|
That history wrought in the fire |
|
That filled your mind with mad desire |
|
Chasing the centuries down |
|
Long roads you cut through flesh and field |
|
Pulling the past as you run |
|
And it's dragged you to your knees |
|
It's time to pray |
|
It's getting harder to pay |
|
Too many people |
|
For the rent |
|
Given a number of ways |
|
Is there no way you can change |
|
Hey man sing the blues |
