Something just wasn't quite right
In the place that I'd chosen to stand
In the catch-22 of the night
It played right into the hands of the man
That was taken to a jail
To live in a confining cell
To read books and sort through the mail
To him only time could tell
Now I will squander all my carefree days
And I will suffer from these wealthy ways
Oh no
Hey yeah

Old man knew well down
Because he could reflect down
He knew he could not bow
He knew now just what to expect
But if he could bow back in youth
If he could take it all in again
He would not search for the truth
And it would not play
into the hands of the madman

Now I will squander all my carefree days
And I will suffer from these wealthy ways

I have no money, but I can be cute
And I can be funny
If you just grant me the time of year
I will change
And I will appear to be
Oh, any season, every reason
To belong
And I will stay for long enough
Till I have my
Song
Till I have my song

Old man knew well down
Because he could reflect down
He knew he could not bow
He knew now just what to expect
But if he could bow back in youth
If he could take it all in again
He would not search for the truth
And it would not play
into the hands of the madman

Now I will squander all my carefree days
And I will suffer from these wealthy ways

I have no money, but I can be cute
And I can be funny
If you just grant me the time of year
I will change
And I will appear to be
Oh, any season, every reason
To belong
And I will stay for long enough
Till I have my
Song

Oh yeah
Because this is the big payback
Because this is the big payback
Because this is the big payback
