Another stupid lesson I didn't want to learn, 
Standing in the rain waiting for my turn, 
It's my human condition that makes my world complete, 
But tonight I just want to go home, 
And a chance to dry my feet

No-one gets a second chance, 
No-one knows the reason to the rhyme, 
It might not make a difference, 
No-one knows or has that kind of time

Your condescending tone has kept me up at night, 
I didn't say a word and I'm left with hindsight, 
Your eyes look right through me, 
While mine look through the rag, 
I don't want your cause and I won't wave your flag

No-one gets a second chance, 
No-one knows the reason to the rhyme, 
It might not make a difference, 
No-one knows or has that kind of time

I didn't want to say this but now I know it's true, 
Inspiration turns to dogma and I wipe it off my shoe, 
It's my human condition that makes my world complete, 
But tonight I just want to go home, 
And a chance to dry my feet

No-one gets a second chance, 
No-one knows the reason to the rhyme, 
It might not make a difference, 
No-one knows or has that kind of time
