Joel Billy - The Great Wall Of China Lyrics
Advice is cheap you can take it from meIts yours to keep cause opinions are freeNobody knows about the trouble Ive seenNobodys perfect, mister, nobodys cleanIt costs too much and takes too long to find out too lateSome words are not heard til after theyre spokenYour role was protective, your soul was too defectiveSome people just dont have a heart to be brokenChorusWe could have gone all the way to the great wall of chinaIf youd only had a little more faith in meIn lieu of diamonds, gold and platinum reminders will still shine brightAll the kings men and all the kings horsesCant put you together the way you used to beWe could have been standing on the great wall of chinaYou take a piece of whatever you touchToo many pieces means youre touching too muchYou never win if you cant play it straightYou only beat me if you get me to hateIt must be so lonely to think that you have onlySomebody elses life to live if they let youI aint too selective, but it dont take no detectiveTo find out how fast your friends will forget youWe could have gone all the way to the great wall of chinaNow all youre going to be is historyHelp yourself, its all you can eat at the empire diner tonightYou coulda had class, you coulda been a contenderCharlie, you shoulda looked out for meYou could have been standing, standing on the great wall of chinaThis was not your calling, just look how far youve fallenI heard your story, man, youve got to be jokingKeep things in perspective, this is my true objectiveWhy tear this heart out if its only been broken?Chorus
