Todd Rundgren - Fair Warning Lyrics
You know, wishing wont make it soHoping wont do it, praying wont do itReligion wont do it, philosophy wont do itThe supreme court wont do it,The president and the congress wont do itThe un wont do it, the h-bomb wont do it,The sun and the moon wont do itAnd God wont do it,And I certainly wont do itThat leaves you, youll have to do itI know that youve been wonderingIf Im the same man insideNever tried to fool youcause Ive got nothing to hideI gave you fair warning I could never be tied downtil Ive seen paradise with my very own eyesLove owns us all, time owns us all, life owns us allBut the world doesnt own meDontcha follow me nowI aint afraid to say I may have been wrongI have to go nowId rather live by a dream than live by a lieAnd thats whyThere aint no cure for what Ive got babyWe just have to sufferI feel no pain, I cant complain,Things could always be rougherBut I picked up this bannerAnd I just cant put it down (no)I cant let the world die just cause no one would tryDontcha follow me nowEverybodys got to find his own place in the sun,EveryoneSo shine on me nowId rather live by a dream then live by a lieYou can say what you will about meTalk is cheap and I dont mindWhen you lay your life down in them groovesYou know youre bound to get scratched up sometimeIts only just a song, pay me no mindI have to go nowYouve got to walk that road aloneIf you walk it at allDont follow me nowI gave you all fair warningNow its goodbyeAnd every once in a while why dont you think of mecause its a long, long time and a long way to goCant you see the light shining in my eyescause its just one victorycause your dream goes on foreverDont you know that Ive been tryingTo get my trip togetherBe a real manI got to be a real man1, 2, 3, do it one more timeBe a real manEverybody be a real manGo then, dont believe, and I dont knowcause I got to be a real manYou can be a man, a real manIll swim that river, climb that mountainYou and me, we all gotta be, real men
