The Great Wall Of China — текст песни (Joel Billy)

Advice is cheap you can take it from me
It`s yours to keep `cause opinions are free
Nobody knows about the trouble I`ve seen
Nobody`s perfect, mister, nobody`s clean
It costs too much and takes too long to find out too late
Some words are not heard `til after they`re spoken
Your role was protective, your soul was too defective
Some people just don`t have a heart to be broken
CHORUS
We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China
If you`d only had a little more faith in me
In lieu of diamonds, gold and platinum reminders will still shine bright
All the king`s men and all the king`s horses
Can`t put you together the way you used to be
We could have been standing on the Great Wall of China
You take a piece of whatever you touch
Too many pieces means you`re touching too much
You never win if you can`t play it straight
You only beat me if you get me to hate
It must be so lonely to think that you have only
Somebody else`s life to live if they let you
I ain`t too selective, but it don`t take no detective
To find out how fast your friends will forget you
We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China
Now all you`re going to be is history
Help yourself, it`s all you can eat at the Empire Diner tonight
You coulda had class, you coulda been a contender
Charlie, you shoulda looked out for me
You could have been standing, standing on the Great Wall of China
This was not your calling, just look how far you`ve fallen
I heard your story, man, you`ve got to be joking
Keep things in perspective, this is my true objective
Why tear this heart out if it`s only been broken?
CHORUS
