I ain’t no wide eyed rebel    Oh, but I ain’t no preacher’s son    And now I see the trouble and all the loving that I’ve done    And the world ain’t no harder than it’s ever been    Looking for love in the lies of a lonely friend       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 it’s 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 we’re 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    You know the moon is stunning    It’s only shadows that she shows    And the world ain’t no harder than it’s every been    Looking got for love in the lies of a lonely friend       I ain’t no wide eyed rebel    But I ain’t no preacher’s son
