If I knew Started life as a poor boy ain't nothin' changed since then Got a little older, lost a few more friends And its not that I'm complaining I just never heard a call Some people want only the best things out of life Me, I don't want anything at all Seems I'm always waiting and avoiding that bottom line More often than not it happens They cross their palms with dotted I's Maybe I'm just too simple Not really meant to understand But more and more I realize Whatever happens fits someone's plans But if I knew now What I thought back when We'd be at least friends Whatever happened to freedom well I guess it grew up and got bored I'm told there's more to life than anarchy But what that is just no one's too sure Some people love their millions Some people love anything that crawls But sometimes it's easier to walk away Than to acknowledge love at all. But if I knew now What I thought back when We'd be at least friends Let the hours grow quiet Let the people bow their heads Let the dust of the centuries Coagulate all those rivers of the bled Maybe there's an answer Maybe there's even a light But I know I won't find it Neon bothers me at night. Singled out from the masses So emotionally disturbed because someone thought of principles And they had to learn the words. Play for the power hungry Hell that's never been my style Those little dogs that sit and beg May be cute but I'd rather be wild. But if I knew now What I thought back when We'd be at least friends Let the hours grow quiet Let the people bow their heads Let the dust of the centuries Coagulate all those rivers of the bled Maybe there's an answer Maybe there's even a light But I know I won't find it Neon bothers me at night. Started life as a poor boy ain't nothin' changed since then Got a little older, lost a few more friends And its not that I'm complaining I just never heard a call And it was always easier to walk away Than to acknowledge love at all. But if I knew now What I thought back when We'd be at least friends Copyright Bradley Garfield Needham 1980, 1985, 1988, 2000, 2012 and all various demo's
