Everybody thinks it's so easy
Everybody thinks it's so fine
But everytime I get a little closer to the top
I find myself at the end of the line
You take a slow ride up
And fast one down
Nothin' gonna stop you spinnin round and round
Everybodys talkin at me
But not

When I get up in the morning
Got a world of trouble on my mind
And nothin seems too easy
When your clock¹s tickin quarter to five
Make my way down to the door
Can¹t put my troubles on no shelf
Cause when nobody worries for you
You got to worry for youself
Cruisin

Well I¹ve been walkin
Down a one way dirty street
Tryin to find the answers
And I¹ve been hopin
For a chance to meet
The rat that spread the cancer
And the lies they¹ve been spinnin
And the smiles they¹ve been grinnin
There has sure been some sinnin
But nobody

I can't tell you baby what went wrong
I can't make you feel what you felt so long ago
I let it show
I can't give you back what's been hurt
Heart aches come and go and
All that's left are the words
I can't let go
If we take some time, think it over baby
Take some t

I¹m running free
But I ain¹t got no time to fly
And I can see
But tomorrow maybe I¹ll be blind
I met a man with a cup
Looking pretty beat up
He stared straight into my eyes
He said today you may be rich
But tomorrow you¹ll be poor
And the next day you could di

Old man looks much younger now,
He lost his strength, respect, somehow.
Look in the mirror at what I found.
It's just the past and it's over now.
Ooooh, it's all over now.
Ooooh, it's all over now.
My heart's like a wheel, and my head's just a stone.
I got my memories

You say I get around but
I¹m gonna hit the ground
I don¹t hear a word you¹re sayin
Going out of my head and
the world¹s turnin red
Don¹t think I¹ll be stayin
You got your fancy pants now
wear em to the dance
All I got is what I¹m playin
But the trouble with yo

Mama sometimes I feel inside
There¹s nothing I can say
Nothing I can do
Could ever match the love you gave
You taught me how to live
Told me walk before you run
And you were always there
To pick me up
Everytime I¹d have a fall
And mama I know there¹s been time

You got me jumpin right out of my skin
You keep it up and I¹ll be comin on in
You start a feelin you¹re the cream of the crop
You gonna break my heart or just make it stop
You told me that you¹d always love me true
But then I heard you told another guy too
Take a cold sho

I was born on the dawn of a new society
And I feel lucky that my eyes could see
People stadning up and being
Who they want to be
People made the music
and the music set them free
Now I was just a baby through
The summer of love they say
But it still feels like it

I see people walking down the street
Got their heads so high
They can¹t see their feet
With their blinders on
They walk the endless smile
Working for that perfect life of style
But I¹m lookin for a better way
Something in my life
Nothing ever seems to satisfy

You¹re wearin out
your welcome wagon
Scraped ya up to drag ya
Home on the range you got the flame
So now you suck some honeys
Comb your hair get out of bed
And wash your face, now look you¹re all
Alone in your room you feel the gloom
So now you curse the day you¹r

I know it¹s hard
In a world gone mad
To find the truth
To Understand
And I know it¹s hard
To turn the page
To walk the line
To have the faith
But sometimes when it¹s light
And you can¹t see
Sometimes when this world
Just seems to be so cold
Sometim

I look into the mirror
Can almost count the years
The memories are clearer
Of all those things I feared
I watch the time pass slowly
It comes and goes like the waves
The sea can touch the sky at night
It's got the freedom I crave
CHORUS
I'm going through chang
