Hey man where you been
|
you can't run away
|
from the life you made your own
|
now that it's gone and left you down and out
|
you're not so complete
|
now what do you say
|
all the answers you propose
|
nobody chose to hear this time around
|
|
hey man you're so vain
|
you rise up again
|
to perform to pressure now
|
no way to treat that precious heart at all
|
calm down you're too proud
|
now what do you know
|
you present some facts to face
|
but nobody chose to look this time around
|
|
head in the clouds
|
no silver lining
|
what could be wrong
|
|
hey man why so blue
|
what's come over you
|
sentimental apathy
|
ain't gonna buy no sympathy today
|
wide world wearing thin
|
wild words deafening
|
shout about integrity
|
and then you go and throw your dignity away
|
|
we're all the same
|
we're all to blame
|
what could be wrong, yeah
|
|
hey man you got carried away
|
carrying on the games that you play
|
playing is not the way to win
|
'cos winning can be a way that you lose
|
and losing is not the way you would choose
|
given the choice you're trying to change
|
changing again you're carried away
|
|
do you remember the day
|
so long ago so far behind
|
that history wrought in the fire
|
that filled your mind with mad desire
|
chasing the centuries down
|
long roads you cut through flesh and field
|
pulling the past as you run
|
and it's dragged you to your knees
|
it's time to pray
|
|
it's getting harder to pay
|
too many people
|
for the rent
|
|
given a number of ways
|
is there no way you can change
|
|
Hey man sing the blues
|
