He came off second best when he first came round here   In a town that's built on money, built on fear   Just don't fake life   He's been told a thousand times      You see the wheels that we turn in keep dragging us down      He was amazed to se the fallen here   Tried so very hard to fight the fear   Then when he saw the end and it weren't very far   It slipped from his grasp and he stumbled there in the dark   Just don't fake life   He's been told a thousand times      You see the wheels that we turn in keep dragging us down      He took a troubled heart and then he gave it out   Took a violent change of circumstance to shout   There can be nobody better to turn things around   Yes there can be nobody better to turn things around   Just don't fake life   He's been told a thousand times      You see the wheels that we turn in keep dragging us down
