S'ONE SONG (B)

My friends told me the other day your race is almost run,
I just had time to stop and say the race has just begun.

My friends told me the other day your song is almost sung,
I just had time to stop and say the melody is young.

INSTRUMENTAL

My friends told me the other day your tale is almost told,
I just had time to tell them I'm just outwardly grown old.

My friends watched me the other day they all sat by my side,
I just had time to say goodbye before I laid back and died.

INSTRUMENTAL

I look back on the life I've led, perhaps I should have done other things instead,
Thinking 'bout the people that I went to school with,
They're all narrow and complacent fools.

Didn't seem to fit into their world, had no interest in what they told,
Branded as an idiot when results came around, but numbers don't tell you if your brain is sound.

Used to want vengeance for what they did, suffered humiliation at the hands of these kids,
But it doesn't really matter, it's just out of spite, I only know I live the life I like.
