It takes a lot to get to the top   And a little just to fall off quick   And I think, I've seen you here before   Sometimes you fly so high   So fast it makes you sick   You won the battle and lost the war      But I don't mind if you say   Every time you talk to me, every time we talk      We came, we saw   We conquered and crumbled   In our own true way   We loved, we fought   We rocked and we tumbled   In our own true way   Our own true way      Well, I believe in brotherhood   And the good of all mankind   But I admit it's hard to find   But, if you wanna talk just come and knock   It don't matter what the time   Solitude is no friend of mine      And I don't mind if you say   Every time you talk to me, every time we talk      We came, we saw   We conquered and crumbled   In our own true way   We loved, we fought   We rocked and we tumbled   In our own true way   I don't mind      It's hard to be from a rock in the sea   Livin' in a big, steel town   Finding unfamiliar faces all around   You heard 'em tellin' stupid jokes   You heard 'em laugh every time you spoke   But you don't let nobody put you down      But I don't mind if you say   Every time you talk to me   Every time you talk to me, every time we talk      We came, we saw   We conquered and crumbled   In our own true way   We loved, we fought   We rocked and we tumbled   In our own true way   In our own true way      I don't mind if you say
