Lyrics

Bilingual
Didn't make it as a scholar momma
Couldn't hack it as a jazz man poppa
If you could see how far from liberation I remain
My brother I'd be so ashamed
I didn't flip the dope like Sammy
Couldn't hack it with the six gun Danny
I think you've got a heart that's true and born to die
As for me I like to be in bed by nine
'Cause you only live once
Well I don't know about that
But I'll only get one shot at this one
Whatever I've done
I can't take it back
So I'll try and keep it up front
Didn't make it in the High School band
Couldn't cut it as a song and dance man
They thought I'd be a dish pit prodigy
But I spent my shifts yapping about my philosophy
The wrong half of a brooding writer
A street sweeper not a real street fighter
I used to hit the road no rider
Roll to the gigs on my Radio Flier
'Cause you only live once
Well I don't know about that
But I'll only get one shot at this one
Whatever I've done
I can't take it back
So I'll try and keep it up front
