Even though I know you're wrong
I can never win
Disappointment I must bear
Underneath my grinIn the darkness from the stage
The sting in my tail
Horizons rise and fall
Shadows grow so paleCreatures that come out to play
Go home to stay the night
Things I got so worried about
Are working out just fineDon't remember and in the end
It's useless to dwell
And nothing good is true unless
You find out for yourselfOld men, be warned
He can't be helped
Like those who went before
You can't be helpedIt's not your fault
It can't be helped
Young menTheir imagination knows no bounds
As far as I can see
There's a love that can't be found
Until you let it freeIn the spotlight on the stage
The sting in my tail
Horizons that rise and fall
And shadows grow so paleOld men, be warned
He can't be helped
All those who went before
You can't be helpedIt's not your fault
It can't be helped
Old menBut even though I know you're wrong
I can never win
Everyone's son thinks he's the best
They make it all up again
