(One, two, one two three four)
I...went...searching for the truth but in my
innocence I found All the con men and their
acrobats who stomped me in the ground If I count
up their percentages, I know they're getting rich
But they haven't taken everything those paybacks
are a bitch

Though I've lost quite a lot, I am still in
control They can keep what they've got but they
can't have my soul

And if I don't have this all worked out, still I'm
getting closer, getting closer I still have far to
go no doubt, but I'm getting closer, getting close

What was ripped off by professionals is not all
that it seems While I must live up to contracts I
did not give up my dreams If I see it as
experience, it hasn't gone to waste Lately all the
missing pieces have been falling into place

And if I could go back and start over somehow I
would not change that much, knowing what I know
now

Thought there have been sins I will regret, still

truth

& I know U will say I am still too naive but I
have not lost faith in the things I believe

And if I don't have a this all worked out, still
I'm getting closer, getting closer I still have
far to go no doubt, but I'm getting closer,
getting close, "A"

Ooh ooh ooh...Ooh ooh yeah...Getting
closer...Getting closer... Can't get to flub
away...I must love her...Getting closer... Whoa
