[00:28.20]Advice is cheap you can take it from me
[00:32.51]It's yours to keep cause opinions are free
[00:36.91]Nobody knows about the trouble I've seen
[00:41.42]Nobody's perfect, mister, nobody's clean
[00:46.03]It cost too much and takes too long to find out too late
[00:50.28]Some words are not heard till after they're spoken
[00:54.77]Your role was protective, your soul was too defective
[00:59.14]Some people just don't have a heart to be broken
[01:03.83]We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China
[01:08.03]If you'd only had a little more faith in me
[01:12.48]In lieu of diamonds, gold and platinum reminders will still shine bright
[01:21.79]All the king's men and all the king's horses
[01:25.65]Can't put you together the way you used to be
[01:30.40]We could have been standing on the Great Wall of China
[01:44.36]You take a piece of whatever you touch
[01:48.62]Too many pieces means you're touching too much
[01:52.99]You never win if you can't play it straight
[01:57.54]You only beat me if you get me to hate
[02:02.10]It must be so lonely to think that you have only
[02:06.71]Somebody else's life to live if they let you
[02:10.96]I ain't too selective, but it don't take no detective
[02:15.57]To find out how fast your friends will forget you
[02:20.14]We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China
[02:24.64]Now all you're going to be is history
[02:28.81]Help yourself, it's all you can eat at the Empire Diner tonight
[02:38.09]You coulda had class, you coulda have been a contender
[02:41.99]Charlie, you shoulda looked out for me
[02:46.82]You could have been standing, standing on the Great Wall of China
[03:29.71]This was not your calling, just look how far you've fallen
[03:32.95]
[03:33.94]I heard your story, man, you've got to be joking
[03:36.81]
[03:38.59]Keep things in perspective, this is my true objective
[03:42.85]Why tear this heart out if it's only been broken?
[03:47.53]We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China
[03:51.78]If you'd only had a little more faith in me
[03:56.33]In lieu of diamonds, gold and platinum reminders will still shine bright
[04:05.44]All the king's men and all the king's horses
[04:08.68]Can't put you together the way you used to be
[04:14.25]We could have been standing, standing on the Great Wall of China
