You always knew what you wanted |
|
in fact you always fawn it |
|
how you had your plans laid out back then |
|
But now you come to realize |
|
the truth and the advice |
|
about the best laid plans of mice and man |
|
No I just can't take it |
|
no I don't think I'll make it |
|
there's too much at stake and I can't abide |
|
No I just can't fake it |
|
not for the sake of my pride |
|
Now as you get older |
|
there's more you've got to shoulder |
|
everything comes down to the bottom line |
|
In the eyes the beholder |
|
just like I've always told her |
|
now you've got to ask where it is you sign |
|
No I just can't take it |
|
no I don't think I'll make it |
|
there's too much at stake and I can't abide |
|
No I just can't fake it |
|
know that my heart is aching |
|
it would be a mistake for the sake of my pride |
|
for the sake of my pride |
|
for the sake of my pride |
|
Money always finds wealth |
|
but illness rarely finds health |
|
so crunch your numbers and pop your pills |
|
When your final day comes |
|
the balance and sums |
|
won't count for much as your grave gets filled |
|
No I just can't take it |
|
no I don't think I'll make it |
|
there's too much at stake and I can't abide |
|
No I just can't fake it |
|
know that my heart is aching |
|
it would be a mistake for the sake of my pride |
|
for the sake of my pride |
|
for the sake of my pride |
