On Your Side
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.
I'm on a mission baby
I'm not hearing what you're saying
Stop preaching at me now
I'm not a revelation
Superstar or new sensation
I'm just hiding away my frowns
We don't see eye to eye
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
I'm on your side
Five a.m. I shut my eyes
Then my worries tranquilized
Don't think the morning comes too soon
If I don't see the morning
That's ok they're pretty boring
See you tomorrow afternoon
We don't see eye to eye
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
I'm on your side
You're living in a trailer
Friends all think that you're a failure
But are you thinking for yourself
You read the Sunday paper
Wife's pissed off 'cause you ain't laid her
Rolling pennies for your wealth
Me too. . .
We don't see eye to eye
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
I'm on your side
I'm on your side
