(One, two, one two three four)
|
I...went...searching for the truth but in my innocence I found
|
All the con men and their acrobats who stomped me in the ground
|
If I count up their percentages, I know they're getting rich
|
But they haven't taken everything those paybacks are a bitch
|
|
Though I've lost quite a lot, I am still in control
|
They can keep what they've got but they can't have my soul
|
|
And if I don't have this all worked out, still I'm getting closer, getting closer
|
I still have far to go no doubt, but I'm getting closer, getting close
|
|
What was ripped off by professionals is not all that it seems
|
While I must live up to contracts I did not give up my dreams
|
If I see it as experience, it hasn't gone to waste
|
Lately all the missing pieces have been falling into place
|
|
And if I could go back and start over somehow
|
I would not change that much, knowing what I know now
|
|
Thought there have been sins I will regret, still I'm getting closer, getting closer
|
I don't have all the answers yet, but I'm getting closer, getting close...
|
|
“G”...Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh...“A”...verse...
|
|
I'm a mark for every shyster from Topanga to Berlin
|
And I should have learned to kick them out as soon as they crawled in
|
So to every bank in Switzerland that stores my stolen youth
|
I'm all right because despite the laws you cannot hide the truth
|
|
& I know U will say I am still too naive but I have not lost faith in the things I believe
|
|
And if I don't have a this all worked out, still I'm getting closer, getting closer
|
I still have far to go no doubt, but I'm getting closer, getting close, “A”
|
|
Ooh ooh ooh...Ooh ooh yeah...Getting closer...Getting closer...
|
Can’t get to flub away...I must love her...Getting closer...
|
Whoa whoa whoa...Yeah yeah yeah...Woo hoo hoo...Aw, that’s--
