lyrics

I had the might
and I felt strong
and I was right
and the whole damned world was wrong.
and I scorned the faces
a million smiles
'cause I was far ahead
a half a million miles.

Baby, don't you try to take on the world.
Don't take on the world.

I looked for sympathy.
I wanted tears.
I drowned my sorrows
in one too many beers.
and I made some enemies.
I made mistakes.
I took no prisoners
gave no one any breaks.

I went to battle.
Hell, I went to war.
I fought for things that I can't
fight for any more.
Now I scream "Freedom!"
instead of battle cries
'cause there's just no justice,
and everybody lies.
