Facts of Life — текст песни (Billy Squier)

These are the golden years

When people get what they want

And you can be one of them

cause youre old enough to burn



So you earn your star--you run from the pack

Sell the clothes from off of your back

And youll go far--youll never look back

Your dreams can never die



Welcome to the facts of life



Life on the edge of town...

No one could get near you

But one day you call to them

When they find you where it hurts



You can fall so far you never come up

All youve got is never enough

And just one word can make it so tough

Your dreams were not so wise...



Youre runnin through the facts of life



Oh youre runnin from the facts of life

Oh youre runnin from the facts of life

Oh youre runnin from the facts of life

Oh youre runnin from the facts of life



The first time I saw you

You were untouchable

You walked on the poets heels

No one could deny you



Now youre lookin for better things

Someone to get close to

A song everybody knows

...when you find out what its worth...



And you come so far youll never turn back

The stones they throw--they roll off your back

They make it hard--you like it like that

Your dreams will never die



When you go so far youll never turn back

The stones they throw--you throw em right back

They play so hard--you like it like that

Our dreams become our lives

No more runnin from the facts of life



No more runnin from the facts of life

No more runnin from the facts of life

No more runnin...

No more runnin...

No more runnin from the facts of life
