I ain't no wide-eyed rebel Oh but I ain't no preacher son And now I see the trouble And all the loving that I've done And the world ain't no harder than its ever been Looking for love In the lies of a lonely friend And so much superstition And so much worry in my heart I need a new religion It's time to make a brand new start And the world ain't no easier than its ever been Looking for love In the lies of a lonely friend Remember when we were in California We were so much happier then Now were back in New York city Looking for love In the lies of a lonely friend And now the clocks are running And no one knows where time goes I know the moon is stunning His only shadow that she shows And the world ain't no harder than its ever been Looking for love In the lies of a lonely friend I ain't no wide-eyed rebel Oh but I ain't no preacher son
