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
