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 spilt 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.
