Almost as if they want to miss the wood for the trees?
Nothing will change my basic feeling when they've done all their wheeler-dealing
Those in the strongest situations do as they please
I see nothing other than a simple board game
Who needs a dream? Who needs ambition?
Who'd be the fool in my position?
Once, I had dreams
Young and misguided
Those starry-eyed dreams
Not all one-sided
You were my life, not just a lover
Part of a world we could recover
I don't expect half what I used to
But how can you bear what we're reduced to?
Now you're where you want to be and who you want to be
And doing what you always said you wanted
Yet you know you haven't won it all
Ha, running for your life and never looking back
In case there's someone right behind to shoot you down
And say he always knew you'd fall
When the crazy wheel slows down
Where will you be?
Back where you started
