have you ever been swindled by a swindler who lies   'cause he wants to see you smile, have a good time, be inspired   and he doesn't want for you to cry or know he cries inside   so he hides behind his great triumphant rock and roll disguise   we want things to be real but you really can't deny   we feel excited and on fire is it wrong to lie and say he's fine   when the reason he's not fine is the pressure of the power changing lives   and just for an hour all these people will be better people      take this job and shove it, adios I'm a ghost   I am leaving for the coast and I'll never work for anyone again   I am not your savior or your heavenly host   I'm just a piece of zwieback toast   getting soggy in a baby's achin' mouth   I'm going south like the geese   I just goosed you and so maybe I seem loose to you   but I don't even want to screw   and I did once   but I don't now   now that I see how you do things   the way you play and sing's amazing   but the way you play the game is crazy   you don't have to say you're sorry you don't owe me anything   don't owe me anything      sometimes it seems like I've got all the answers   but the answers aren't the same when the questions keep on changing   like how will I react when I see my mother crying   every single day 'cause she is afraid of dying?   and how will I contain my anger   when Delila plays Unchained Melody instead of Lost In Your Eyes?   and where will I go where I can feel safe   when my family sells its place and we all split up and move away?      I'm trying to be brave 'cause when I'm brave   other people feel brave   but I feel like my heart is caving in      I'm trying to be brave 'cause when I'm brave   other people feel brave   but I feel like my heart is caving in      I'm trying to be brave 'cause when I'm brave   other people feel brave   but I feel like my heart is caving in
