No Apologies - '68

It’s a lost cause

Try’n understand it all

So act natural

Uh-ah-woo

My fair-weather friends

Only the young die good, it’s true

And vice versa

Ha-ha-woo!

And dare I say

I should have been a bad guy

The easy way out

Woo

Now everyone, settle down

If it wasn’t me, it’d be somebody else

Words I can’t stop, whether glory or ghost

But I find that it’s a novel approach

Love is a war

But I’ll take it too far

So act natu-ral

Act natural

Uh!

And dare I say

I should have been a bad guy

The easy way out

Ha… Ohh

Oh!

When they take me away

What songs will they play?

I can’t deny

That I hope it’s alright

And I hope it is something true

But when the light goes down

The shadows grow larger than life

It’s hard to pretend that it doesn’t make sense

But I’m betting on something else

Yeah I’m betting on something else

I’m betting on something else

Well they warn you of the wolves

But they don’t warn you about the sheep

I started buying tears back in early spring

Well I’ve got the blues but the blues ain’t got me

In fact, we all fall asleep in act three

So I’d like to panic but I ain’t got the time

If you give them eight eyes they will ask for nine

Are you my killer or are you, my lover?

Please make yourself known

Our shadows are only getting longer

And it seems as though you’re all alone

I understand that you have a job to do

And well that’s okay

It almost makes sense what you’re trying to say

Almost

My struggles are long

So it’s a good thing my attention span is so short

A whole lot of feedback can really help distort

All the pain and problems and insignificant fears

Why if I weren’t laughing I’d be crying, ha

Still bright after all these years

Oh!

When they take me away

What songs will they play?

I can’t deny

That I hope it’s alright

And I hope it is something true

But when the light goes down

The shadows grow larger than life

It’s hard to pretend that it doesn’t make sense

But I’m betting on something else

Yeah I’m betting on something else
