I was just a kid with a bass guitar Burning ambition Just a kid on a shooting star Man with a mission Nobody told me life up here Was an endless vacation Hope I get old before I die M m my degeneration All the King's horses and all the King's men Couldn't put Humpty together again You just sit on the fence afraid of the past No plan for the future Watching the world go by so fast Just do what suits you Nobody told me life up here Was an endless vacation Hope I get old before I die M m my degeneration All the King's horses and all the King's men Couldn't put Humpty together again I'm still the kid with the bass guitar Still got ambition But you tie me down with these golden chains Too many conditions Just give me a stage, give me four strings And someone to listen Give me a song any fool could sing And the right musicians All the King's horses and all the King's men Couldn't put Humpty together again
