Career
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.
Theres no such thing as me or you
Just the feeling someone had
When they saw shadows on the wall
Theres no such thing as old or new
cause everythings been said and done before
Theres no such thing as rock and roll
No such thing as growing old
When the picture starts to fade
Youll hear the clowns and watch them cry
The great mistakes theyve made
When the lights have all gone down (down, down, down)
Youll marvel at the speed that things turn round
Theres no such thing as rock and roll
No such thing as growing old
Things are way beyond control
Ive been told
Try to cut you down
Take your soul away
Cut you down
Try to break your heart
Take your soul away
Break your heart
If you make it to the end
Youll find you didnt try that hard
It wasnt such a strain
And all those death defying deeds
Werent necessary
Its really such a shame
cause all Ive got is rock and roll
All Ill get is growing old
Things are way beyond control
And Ive been told
Try to cut you down (cut you down)
Take your soul away
Cut you down
Try to break your heart (break your heart)
Take your soul away
Break your heart
Try to cut you down (cut you down)
Take your soul away
Cut you down
