well what would you do i feel sick
i'm through i am the kingpin of my own misery
and i can't help it can i?
i grew up all unknowing lacking family friends
and now i'm married and withdrawn from the life i've never lived
untill  i came to think of it
i studied fourty-nine years
i know the outside well
but what's coming to me now is change as a gift and i don't
know what to do with it
i won't deny i'm old
i'm pretty healthy grown
i earn money and spend it on my family, my sin is i
build my whole life around it

i am close to a breakdown
i got money, love, respect
and comfort and joy, comfort and joy yeah

i got my birthday present again
and i'm glad it's not another one of those glossy pants
i was always so fond of it
i got some records too some old clapton shit
and i'm afraid that people are living their life just for me
and i just, and i just didn't know
although i planned it long before
i'll have comfort and joy, comfort and joy yeah

i am close to a breakdown
i got money, love, respect
and comfort and joy, comfort and joy yeah
