Old Rhymes 3

now it's the law
to live a lie
being yourself
has become a crime

for some it might
be hard to to do
to throw away
all your used to

but soon it will
all be fine
the lines will blur
between truth and the lie

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can feel the malaise setting in
cant find the will to begin
rather just sit around and wait
life's passing by and i just wave

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Could a been a prep
with my collar popped
Could a picked a sport
and become a jock
Could a been a rocker
with a tribal tat
could a been a kicker
with a cowboy hat

But i don't think I'd like you
if you liked me like that

And even though it's always
been my wish to be with you
don't think i wanna change
to make it come true

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cuase pain in my heart
gets disguised by the part
that i play
when i am up on the stage

the hurt in my voice
is hidden by the the choice
that i make
when the band starts to play

Alright...
Now that your caught up.
