Where'd you get the stolen impression

Where'd you get the wrong direction

Where'd you get the answer where there isn't one

Where'd you get the idle nerve from

Where'd you get the angle uncut from

Where'd you get the ending when it's just begun



Everybody searchin' for gratification

No one's got a grip on the situation

I just can't believe the things you say



How'd you ever expect to feel it

How'd you ever expect to steal it

How'd you come to be here when you can't get in

How'd you think it was gonna end up

Why'd you want to send your friend up

How's it gonna be when the cold sets in



Everybody's down for a New Year's honor

They're all working on a new persona

I just can't believe the things you say



When do you think it's gonna get better

When do you think you'll break these fares (2:33)

When do you learn to ask for another one

When do you stop counting your blessings

When do you stop learning your lessons

When do you understand it isn't much fun



Everybody's trying to do their best

And the wicked don't get no rest

I just can't believe the things you say
