| Ever since i was a child | |
| You always said that i should understand the rules | |
| You take some and give less | |
| Sit high above the rest...don't you | |
| As i ask a simple question | |
| Cuts me off with his reply | |
| He's been practicing for decades | |
| Now he thinks i have the time | |
| He flows in and out of riddles | |
| Looking me straight in the eye | |
| But it seems like something's missing | |
| From the days when he was more my size | |
| Chorus: | |
| Ten years older and i've finally found my pride | |
| This old man comes rolling home to die | |
| Old feelings make it hard to decide | |
| Just what it means to me | |
| Everything exists 'tween black and white | |
| You can twist and distort the most blatant of lies | |
| Or just offer up solutions | |
| Practiced only in your mind |
