I gotta find me another place, Too many people in this Human Race. Nobody cares about his fellow man, I want to get away find a new plan. Nobody tries in this neighborhood, To be somebody that is understood. It is just a game that you gotta play, You sit around and dream your whole life away. Talk to me for a while, Can't you see that were all trying. You may think I'm a fool, But these days it is so hard to smile. Don't shoot me down, Hold your fire. Drive myself to an early grave, Hard work and worry for each dime I save. Who's to blame for the state I'm in, I play my cards but somehow I can't win. Talk to me for a while, Can't you see that were all trying. You may think I'm a fool, But these days it is so hard to smile. Don't shoot me down, Hold your fire. Hold your fire. Talk to me for a while, Can't you see, baby that were all trying. You may think I'm a fool, But these days it is so hard to smile. Don't shoot me down, Hold your fire. Hold your fire. Hold your fire. Hold your fire.
