in the trials of my youth, on my way to being man
|
there was caustic words of ill advice I'd never understand
|
but their hometown dreams were shattered when ambition foiled their plans
|
but you can't be the one who tries, they love to criticise, I know¡¦ or at least they'll try
|
CHORUS:
|
come on
|
laughing is all that I can do, trying to keep from falling through
|
nothing ever changes, nothing ever changes
|
they all got advice to give 'cos they've got no life to live
|
nothing ever changes, nothing ever changes
|
nothing ever changes but the shoes
|
|
|
in my one man crusade doing what I knew was right
|
they would tempt me with the honest sweat of labour, love and life
|
and they only find respect for you if you give up the fight
|
but you can't be the one who tries, they'll cut you down to size, I know¡¦ or at least they'll try
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
I....want to be there when you say you're wrong
|
I....want to be there when you crawl
|
I....wouldn't piss on your opinion
|
and if I stand on top of the world then maybe I'll find somebody I know, and if I don't¡¦
|
|
CHORUS
