Joel Billy - Getting Closer Lyrics
I went searching for the truthBut in my innocence I foundAll the con men and their acrobatsWho stomped me in the groundIf I count up their percentagesI know theyre getting richBut they havent taken everythingThose paybacks are a *****Though Ive lost quite a lotI am still in controlThey can keep what theyve gotBut they cant have my soulAnd if I dont have this all worked outStill Im getting closer, getting closerI still have far to go no doubtBut Im getting closer, getting closerWhat was ripped off by professionalsIs not all that it seemsWhile I must live up to contractsI did not give up my dreamsIf I see it as experienceIt hasnt gone to wasteLately all the missing piecesHave been falling into placeAnd if I could go back and start over somehowI would not change that muchKnowing what I know nowThought there have been sinsI will regretStill Im getting close, getting closerI dont have all the answers yetBut Im getting closer, getting closerIm a mark for every shysterFrom topanga to berlinAnd I should have learned to kick them outAs soon as they crawled inSo to every bank in switzerlandThat stores my stolen youthIm all right because despite the lawsYou cannot hide the truthAnd although you will sayI am still too naiveBut I have not lost faithIn the things I believeAnd if I dont have a this all worked outStill Im getting closer, getting closerI still have far to go no doubtBut Im still getting closer, getting closer
