Key: E minor
Verse 1
I'm only starting
I think it won't take too long
Maybe it's because I
can see you laughing
Maybe I could be like Robin Hood
Like an outlaw dressed all in green
Someone said,
what's he gonna turn out like?
and more than twice as old
As all the cats I'd ever seen
I grew my hair and bought a suit of shiny white,
I wasn't cream
I shook and shivered and danced and
quivered and stood on a mountain top
because I was a freak
Oh, my front was tied and worn
My pretty face just looked out of place
I wrote on yellow paper
from a man who was a king
He said my boy would have
some crazy scenes
There weren't any scenes at all
like he was talking about
about the things I've done
But I could never sing,
so they'd never get sung
Well, it's love for the rich
and want for the poor
And there's another one for singers
It's die young and live
much longer
And spend your money
on sittin' for a ladder
Interlude 1
Verse 2
Oh, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth
and nothing but the truth
Nobody knows who's real and
who's faking
Everyone's shouting out loud
It's only the glitter and shine
I'm gone before your winking eye
But no one even cared
enough to say goodbye
The money's good and the times
you have fun and games galore
But you spend your money
and you lie in bed forgotten
And wonder what you did it for
