Back in the day you were a lonely little boy   And when you were young you had your lonely little toys   You're playing around with your imaginary friends   You could conquere all your fears      You're waiting for god, you think   And how bad you want in   Don't look back now      It's gunna be different someday   It's gunna be different someday   It's gunna be different someday   It's gunna be perfect someday      You're older now, and all your friends are well defined   With homes of their own, with jobs, and tender patient wives, oh   If you let them win now, oh, they'll win most every time   You could change their wayward minds      You're waiting for god, you think   And how bad you want in   Don't look back now      It's gunna be different someday   It's gunna be different someday   It's gunna be different someday   It's gunna be perfect someday      You never said what you wanted to   You never found what you wanted to do   You never cared and never wanted to   You never stopped and tried to change the way things are (?) to blame      It's gunna be different someday   It's gunna be different someday   It's gunna be different someday   It's gunna be perfect someday      It's gunna be different someday    It's gunna be different someday   It's gunna be different someday   It's gunna be perfect someday
