Current song lyrics
I went searching for the truth<br />But in my innocence I found<br />All the con men and their acrobats<br />Who stomped me in the ground<br />If I count up their percentages<br />I know they're getting rich<br />But they haven't taken everything<br />Those paybacks are a bitch<br /><br />Though I've lost quite a lot<br />I am still in control<br />They can keep what they've got<br />But they can't have my soul<br />And if I don't have this all worked out<br />Still I'm getting closer, getting closer<br />I still have far to go no doubt<br />But I'm getting closer, getting closer<br /><br />What was ripped off by professionals<br />Is not all that it seems<br />While I must live up to contracts<br />I did not give up my dreams<br />If I see it as experience<br />It hasn't gone to waste<br />Lately all the missing pieces<br />Have been falling into place<br /><br />And if I could go back and start over somehow<br />I would not change that much<br />Knowing what I know now<br />Thought there have been sins<br />I will regret<br />Still I'm getting close, getting closer<br />I don't have all the answers yet<br />But I'm getting closer, getting closer<br /><br />I'm a mark for every shyster<br />From Topanga to Berlin<br />And I should have learned to kick them out<br />As soon as they crawled in<br />So to every bank in Switzerland<br />That stores my stolen youth<br />I'm all right because despite the laws<br />You cannot hide the truth<br /><br />And although you will say<br />I am still too naive<br />But I have not lost faith<br />In the things I believe<br /><br />And if I don't have a this all worked out<br />Still I'm getting closer, getting closer<br />I still have far to go no doubt<br />But I'm still getting closer, getting closer
