Jack you've spelling wrong for so long, now I'm so tired The only thing you can go and do is get yourself fired And with your pay cheque, just like the last one When tonight through it will be gone so will I This is been a long life, now mine is nearly through I've had a lot of time to think now I must speak to you Tell me am I dreaming as I look around We can't afford a descent life for those with their feet on the ground I feel it my duty to try and pass it on This wisdom of the word I understand the nature of life As well as any soul left living, as well as any man still alive He said there's an answer for a hundred years or two He came in a dream one night, wisdom morning come to a fuse This is been a long life now mine is nearly through And if I'd have the my again I'd spend it all with you Dreams exist in dreamland, my passion fails to show My eyes no longer sparkle, desire begins to slow Confirm peace is beyond my imagination It's your life they demand for little appreciation It's all well and good when it's understood, we can beat them if we try It's all well and good when it's understood, we can beat them if we try If we try This is been a long life, now mine is nearly through I've had a lot of time to think now I must speak to you This is been a long life now mine is nearly through And if I'd have my time again I'd spend it all with you Everyone will be together to hear the word to the wise
