Well tell me

where it all went wrong

And tell me

where you lost those damn songs

I can't say I was surprised

I heard a drink was involved


Oh you gotta be, oh you gotta be

Still living by the sea

Oh you gotta be, oh you gotta be


Cos santa cruz

you're not that far

Oh santa cruz,

no, you're not that far


Well villains come and villains will go

But a hero's name is set in stone

I heard he sued you with lies

I heard he laughed when you cried


Oh you gotta be, oh you gotta be

Still writing songs for me

Oh you gotta be, oh you gotta be


Cos santa cruz,

you're not that far

Oh santa cruz,

no, you're not that far


Oh you gotta be, oh you gotta be

Cos santa cruz,

you're not that far

Oh santa cruz,

no, you're not that far
