Hear me out, for I was joyful once

Like everyone

Hear me out, I must have changed

Sometime and all at once

Cos it seems

That nothing stays the same as certainly as me

And nothing stays the same but me



Well I have toiled and I have tamed

Constricted and constrained

Just to learn about how everyone is sane

Well I am old and I am lame

And ruthlessly (?) estranged

Ask me then what I have gained from almost everyone, oh-oh



Hear me out, for I have everything in deep

Hear me out, I must have changed



Well I have toiled and I have tamed

Constricted and constrained

Just to learn about how everyone is totally insane, now

Well I am old and I am lame

And ruthlessly estranged

Ask me then what I have gained from almost everyone, oh-oh



Hear me out, for I was joyful once

Like everyone

Hear me out, I must have changed
