The Oldest Trick in The Book

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 wonder where I'll be at the end of the world?

I wonder how I'll get home?

I wonder how it feels to be on top of the world, with all the highs and lows

I wonder where I'll be at when this ceiling falls?

I wonder if I'll be stoned?

I wonder if theyll hear me past these four walls, and what theyll write On my headstone?

Is it true what doesn't kill you really makes you stronger?

is it true what's good for you makes you live longer?

who wants to live longer?

I'll change the world before I go

all I know.

I'll change the world before I go

That's all I know

I wonder where I'll be at the end of the world?

I wonder how I'll go?

I wonder if there ever will be an end to the war?

And will my friends come home?

I wonder if I'll ever be able to learn all the things I'm taught?

I wonder if it'll get me the credit I've earned it seems it's all I got.

If it's true what doesn't kill you really makes you stronger?

Then it's true what's good for you makes you live longer?

who wants to live longer?

You pick yourself up but you're still on the floor

You're feeling better but you can't find the cure

It's sad to say but I'm pretty sure

The oldest trick in the book

Doesnt work anymore

I'll change the world before I go

all I know.
