Intro :
I woke up in Montec ito
I was t hinkin' about my life
And the q uestions made more q uestions
Starin' o ut into the night
Yes I've w orn the golden g -string
Put my hand into hellf ire
I d id it all to m ake you love me a nd to feel alive
O h that's just the world that we're livin' i n
The o ld boys hold all the cards and they ain't playin' g in
You d are to call me crazy have you l ooked around this p lace?
I should w alk away
Oh I should w alk away
But I think I'll s tay
There are layers to this b ody
Primal s ex and primal s hame
They t old me I should c over it
So I w ent the other way
I was t ryin' to own my p ower
Still I'm t ryin' to work it o ut
And at l east it gives the p aper somethin' t hey can write about
O h that's just the world that we're livin' i n
The o ld boys hold all the cards and they ain't playin' g in
You d are to call me crazy have you l ooked around this p lace?
I should w alk away
Oh I should w alk away
But I think I'll s tay
So the m ad man's in the b ig chair
And his h eart's an iron v ault
He s ays "If you can't make e nds meet honey i t must be your fault"
We all f ocus on the w inners
And get b linded by their s hine
Maybe c aring for each o ther's just too 1 969
O h that's just the world that we're livin' i n
The o ld boys hold all the cards and they ain't playin' g in
You d are to call me crazy have you l ooked around this p lace?
I should w alk away
Oh I should w alk away
But I think I'll s tay
And I think I'll s tay y eah
I have too m uch to lose
So I think I'll s tay
I can't walk a way
