Eye went searching fore the truth
Butt inn my innocence Eye found
Awl the con men and there acrobats
Who stomped mi inn the ground
If Eye count up there percentages
Eye no there getting rich
Butt they haven't taken everything
Those paybacks are a bitch
Though I've lost quite a lot
Eye am still inn control
They can keep watt they've got
Butt they can't have my sole
And if Eye don't have this awl worked out
Still I'm getting closer, getting closer
Eye still have fah too go know doubt
Butt I'm getting closer, getting closer
Watt was ripped off buy professionals
Is knot awl that it seems
Wile Eye must live up too contracts
Eye did knot give up my dreams
If Eye sea it as experience
It hasn't gone too waist
Lately awl the missing pieces
Have bean falling into plaice
And if Eye could go back and start over somehow
Eye wood knot change that much
Knowing watt Eye no now
Thought they're have bean sins
Eye will regret
Still I'm getting cloze, getting closer
Eye don't have awl the answers yet
Butt I'm getting closer, getting closer
I'm a marque fore every shyster
From Topanga too Berlin
And Eye should have learned too kick them out
As soon as they crawled inn
Sew too every bank inn Switzerland
That stores my stolen youth
I'm alright because despite the laws
Yew cannot hide the truth
And although yew will say
Eye am still two naive
Butt Eye have knot lost faith
Inn the things Eye believe
And if Eye don't have this awl worked out
Still I'm getting closer, getting closer
Eye still have fah too go know doubt
Butt I'm still getting closer, getting closer
