One Born Every Minute

Born again, and one day old
An untold story to unfold.
I could be prime minister
And turn my country I wish I -
Nothing quite as sinister
As all she's ever seen
But I like the look of that movie scene
Picture myself with a beauty queen
Is there something you're not telling me?
Something wrong with
What you've fed to me?
Today I saw my father cry
He wondered what she'd fed to me
It made me cry to see him weak
He told me dreams were meant for sleep
And turned his back, looked to the sky
Raised his arms and asked me why:
There's one born every minute?
There's one born every minute.
Why do you have to aim so high?
There's no safety net
If you fall, you'll die
One born every minute
The world is such a pretty place
With your pretty wife and your pretty face
I flew to hollywood last night
They told me 'boy, your face ain't right.'
My beauty queen from a time ago
No I don't think she loved me at all -
So I turned my back, looked to the sky,
Raised my arms and asked you why
There's one born every minute?
There's one born every minute
Why do you have to run so fast?
Learn to live like me
Watch life go past
One born every minute
Why do you have to aim so high?
There's no safety net,
If you fall, you'll die
Oh moon please be gentle,
With my fragile hopes and dreams.
It was only yesterday,
That I was brought onto this scene.
If it's all the same to you,
I think I'll go now but return.
Being born yesterday
Gives me a lot to learn
Gives me a lot to learn
I will change the world
But maybe not today
I will change the world
One born every minute
