(alexander/badlees)



You've got a right to be angry

You've got a right to complain

But just being right

Ain't gonna change anything



You want understanding

Without saying a word

You want admiration

Even though it's undeserved



It ain't no secret

Time took it's toll

I can't believe it

We're gettin' old



One of us should stand up

One of us should scream

One of us should step out

And say just what he means

One of us should say

Just what it is were fighting for

But no one says nothing much

Of anything no more



We all have defenses

And opinions to sell

We all have our methods

Of defending ourselves



But there's nothing as lifeless

As a tree that don't bend

There's nothing as worthless

As a fair weathered friend



It ain't no secret

Time took it's toll

I can't believe it

We're gettin' old



One of us should get up

One of us should say

One of us should get out

Of the other one's way

One of us should face up

To what no one can ignore

But no one does nothing much

Of anything no more



I am he as you are he

As you are mebut we disagree

Now it ain't anything



And it's a world full of anger

It's a world full of pain

It's a world full of people

Lookin' for someone else to blame



But it don't make no difference

If it don't make no sense

'cause the world goes on a changing

With or without our consent



It ain't no secret

Time took it's toll

I can't believe it

We're gettin' old



If one of us was angry

If one of us was sad

If one of us was guilty

It might not be that bad

If one of us was anything

We might know something more

But no one is nothing much

Of anything no more
