Lyrics
0:33Was an honest man
0:41Asked me for the phone
0:44Tried to take control
0:46Oh I don't see it that way
0:50I don't see it that way
0:59Oh we shared some ideas
1:07All obsessed with fame
1:10Says we're all the same
1:12Oh I don't see it that way
1:16I don't see it that way
1:22Raised in Carolina
1:29I'm not like that
1:33Trying to remind her
1:41When we go back
1:45I missed the last bus
1:46I'll take the next train
1:47I try but you see it's hard to explain
1:50I say the right things
1:52But act the wrong way
1:53I like it right here but I cannot stay
1:56I watch the TV forget what I'm told
1:59Well I am too young
2:00And they are too old
2:02The joke is on you this place is a zoo
2:05You're right it's true
2:35Says he can't decide
2:43I shake my head to say
2:46Everything's just great
2:48Oh I just can't remember
2:52I just can't remember
2:58Raised in Carolina she says
3:05I'm not like that
3:09Trying to remind her
3:17When we go back
3:21I say the right things
3:22But act the wrong way
3:23I like it right here but I cannot stay
3:26I watch the TV forget what I'm told
3:29Well I am too young
3:31And they are too old
3:32Oh man can't you see
3:33I'm nervous so please
3:35Pretend to be nice
3:36So I can be mean
3:38I miss the last bus
3:39We take the next train
3:41I try but you see
3:42It's hard to explain
Was an honest man Asked me for the phone Tried to take control Oh I don't see it that way I don't see it that way Oh we shared some ideas All obsessed with fame Says we're all the same Oh I don't see it that way I don't see it that way Raised in Carolina I'm not like that Trying to remind her When we go back I missed the last bus I'll take the next train I try but you see it's hard to explain I say the right things But act the wrong way I like it right here but I cannot stay I watch the TV forget what I'm told Well I am too young And they are too old The joke is on you this place is a zoo You're right it's true Says he can't decide I shake my head to say Everything's just great Oh I just can't remember I just can't remember Raised in Carolina she says I'm not like that Trying to remind her When we go back I say the right things But act the wrong way I like it right here but I cannot stay I watch the TV forget what I'm told Well I am too young And they are too old Oh man can't you see I'm nervous so please Pretend to be nice So I can be mean I miss the last bus We take the next train I try but you see It's hard to explain
