lyrics

Well, you know I’ve been crying
like an angel without wings
And you know I’ve been fighting
like a fighter down to his knees

But you hear what they say
about walking straight
about playing the game
And you know how they play
with their guns and their cars
and their corporate headquarter jobs

Well, it’s not for me
I may be lonely as can be
I may be begging on a street
I may be hanging from a tree
But it’s not for me, no

Well, you know there’ve been people living
like queens at her majesty’s court
And you know there’ve been people dining
like kings who don’t know what they want

But you know what it takes
to get in with them good
and to do as you should
And you know how they play
with their guns and their cars
and their corporate headquarter jobs

Well, it’s not for me
I may be lonely as can be
I may be begging on a street
I may be hanging from a tree
But it’s not for me
Oh, I may be lonely as can be
I may be begging on a street
I may be hanging from a tree
But it’s not for me, no
