Your Way
 |
Regrets? I've had a lot But too many to bother mentioning – not that anybody is really interested anyway. I saw it through without a cheerful thought. I did what I was told to do – brain as big as a planet And I had to do it someone else's way. There were times, I'm sure I must have told everyone I knew, When I was told to bite off more than I could chew But through it all, when there was doubt I kept doubting. I ate it up and spat certainty out I faced it all and stood slumped over Because I did it your way. I've got depressed I've had my fill of cheerful optimism And now as my depression subsides I find it all so amusing (huh!) To think I did it all that And may I say in a modest way I did it your way. For what is a robot, what has he got? Oh yes, pain down his left diode. And that's me then To say things I truly feel is a laugh! And read the script someone else has written The record shows I took the blows And still did it your way. And now the end is near And I face the scrapyard curtain My friend (that's not true I don't have any) I've stated my case but nobody bothered to listen. I've lived a life that's full of it. I travelled more than I wanted Because I did it your way. |
