There’s a lot I don’t know
and a few things I might
life’s a hell of a show
a bit tough to get right
well, some folks they want you
and other folks don’t
some folks they will
and other folks won’t
you’ll get plenty of chances
you’ll blow the best part
you’ll twirl at some dances
you’ll get shot through the heart
some folks you can trust
up to a point, more or less
others? trust’s a bust
they’ll split the joint, leave a mess
try and tell the truth
you’ll take blow after blow
don’t tell the truth and
no one’ll save your soul
anything’s possible, in dreams
who’s better than you?
everyone, it seems
but it just isn’t true
they’re all full of bull
faking til’ they make it
so just push when they pull
baby stand when they sit
cause no one knows shit
and everything’s thin
I’ve been around a bit
a never was, a has-been
but that ain’t you baby
it ain’t me anymore
no one can save me
I’ve outlasted the war
so all you got is today
and maybe not that
that’s all I’ve got to say
take the meat, leave the fat.
