You used to be mean
You used to be cruel
But you were laughing then
And it was no accident
Where did the mean man go
Is he chasing his shadow?
Is he unhappy to report
That the gentleman he found is a terrible bore?
You know it all
You've got all the answers
But if that's the case
What's with the long face?
It's very easy to be brave
With your good foot in the grave
It's very easy to be cold
When there's no one in the world you want to know
It's very easy to be suave
When you're on your guard
Like you always are
The sun goes down and now the shadows arise
The morning is broken as you mourn your life
You smile at your neighbors as you lock your doors
You face up the mirror, mister, pimp or whore ?
Is it hard to let go
At the foot of the rainbow
Just to be informed
That the chase was your reward?
Here, have a crock of gold
Keep it for when you're old
Like a week on Tuesday
Hey, wise men say
It's very easy to be brave
With your good foot in the grave
It's very easy to be cold
When there's no one in the world you want to know
It's very easy to be suave
When you're on your guard
Like you always are
The sun goes down and now the shadows arise
The morning is broken as you mourn your life
You smile at your neighbors as you lock your doors
You face up the mirror, mister, pimp or whore ?
Put me in the ground.
You just saved my life
Now, this may not be what you had in mind
Would you love me to death, my dear
Oh, no no, she said
Better alive than dead
When are you going to come home
Are you waiting for the end of the world?
When are you going to come home
And be loved by the ones you love?
It's a senseless, vain desire
To be loved by everyone
You won't take my money
You don't find my jokes that funny, do you?
If I took you to the Hollywood Bowl
Oh, no no she said
Radio City Music Hall..
..And be loved by the ones you love
It's a senseless, vain desire
To be loved by everyone
When are you going to come home
Are you waiting for the end of the world?
When are you going to come home
And be loved by the ones you love?
Don't hesitate
There is no time like now
For you to break
The habits of a lifetime, babe
Get on your pony and ride
Make no mistake
We're going to cry at your funeral
T bone steak
French fries
For heaven's sake
Your belly's bigger than your eyes
All you can eat
For a dollar and a dream
And the drinks are on the house at the funeral party
If you don't know what's good for you, boy
Eat your fried greens and pray
Nobody loves you more than we do
Sha la la la la la, hey
Sugar kick
Sugar kicks like a mule
Ain't that the truth
And you're a strawberry fool
Look at your hips
Look at the cream in your coffee
You could whip it
Or we could cry at your funeral
If you don't know what's good for you, boy
Eat your fried greens and pray
Nobody loves you more than we do
Sha la la la la la, hey
I used to be content to frown
I'm anything for money now
I'd rather be a mannish kind of girl
I used to get drunk on Spanish wine
Well, now I'm drunk most all the time
I guess I've been too grateful for too long
So I sit around and wait
And watch the grass grow green
And count the cost
Of being lost, alone, misunderstood
So I'll wait
Hey, hey
I had a girl on London town
She picked me up and she spun me round
I guess she was a mannish kind of girl
I went away and I still don't know why
Six feet under is where my bloody heart lies
I'm just afraid I cant forget her, now
So I sit around and wait
And watch the grass grow green
And count the cost
Of being lost, alone, misunderstood
So I'll wait
Hey, hey
I used to be too big to crawl
Now I don't give a damn at all
I'd rather be a mannish kind of girl
I used to get drunk on Spanish wine
Well, now I'm drunk most all the time
I'm just afraid I cant forget her, now
So I sit around and wait
And watch the grass grow green
And count the cost
Of being lost, alone, misunderstood
So I'll wait
Hey, hey
