Of a ridiculous man

A tragedy, I hope you'll understand

He had his dreams
Am
In the palm of his hands
F                  G
Only to lose them, to a rock n roll band
F                  G
Only to lose them, to a rock n roll band

Now he's alone
Not knowing what to do
Spent his time and his future too
A wasted moment
A wasted day
Time goes by, needless to say
Time goes by, needless to say

He had his chances
And blew them all
A twisted mind, might be the cause
Values were planted
Inside his head
Now socially impotent, he's better off dead
Now socially impotent, he's better off dead

Listen to this story
Of a ridiculous man
A tragedy, I hope you'll understand
He sometimes wonders
How he went along
Can he correct it, it's come out all wrong
Can he correct it, it's come out all wrong

Emotionally exhausted
It's all in his head
Locked up inside, like a prison bed
One day he'll come out
Just to look around
And see that his fears, are not to be found
And see that his fears, are not to be found
