Gonna put it in a frame
 So I can show you how I'm feelin'
 Without having to explain
 And you can hang it from you ceiling
 In your safe and happy home
 When you come to understand it
 You'll know you're not alone
 Once upon a time
 We could speak our minds
 CHORUS
 But now I don't believe you gwendolyn
 I don't believe you're all that strong
 I don't believe you know the dangers
 Of this road you're travlin' on
 You're always asking questions
 That you know the answers to
 Tell me please
 What do you want from me
 Gonna write a song
 Gonna tell it like it is
 And if you recognize yourself
 I know you're going to be pissed
 And if you call me on it
 I'll deny it through and through
 Just like woody allen would
 If he were in my shoes
 Once upon a time
 I could speak my mind
 CHORUS
 Gonna write a letter
 Gonna mail it to myself
 Sincerely and forever
 You and yours can go to hell
 Well, the I'll put it in my pocket
 So when this all comes crashing down
 I'll have a way to show you
 How long I've been wearing down
 Once upon a time
 We could speak our minds
 CHORUS 2X
