Lyrics
Meanwhile Back At The Ranch
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why do you think me so hard to get?
Is there something they might regret?
Is it better to just forget, just forget?
If they only would let us know
Then we'd know just how far to go
But instead they just tell us "no", tell us "no"
You, you always played the fool (you always played the fool)
You always break the rule
At every single school you know (you always break the rule)
It always pulled you down
They could always pull you down
You, you never stayed the same (you never stayed the same)
And now you take the blame
For all the little games they play (you always take the blame)
And let it bring you down
Why'd you let it bring you down?
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
Why do you think me so hard to get?
Is there something they might regret?
Is it better to just forget, just forget?
If they only would let us know
Then we'd know just how far to go
But instead they just tell us "no", tell us "no"
You, you never stayed the same (you never stayed the same)
And now you take the blame
For all the little games they play (you always take the blame)
And let it bring you down
Why'd you let it bring you down?
