Maybe it's because I'm only starting<br /> That I think it won't take too long<br /> Maybe it's because I can see you laughing<br /> That I think you've got it wrong<br /> Maybe I could be like Robin Hood<br /> Like and outlaw dressed all in green<br /> Someone said what's he gonna turn out like<br /> And someone else said never mind<br /> Well I was big and bold and more than twice as old<br /> As all the cats I'd ever seen<br /> I grew my hair and bought a suit<br /> Of shiny white or was it cream<br /> I shook and shivered danced and quivered<br /> And stood on a mountain top<br /> No one came from miles around and said<br /> Man your music is really hot<br /> <br /> Well I knew what they meant because I was a freak<br /> My throat was tired and worn<br /> My pretty face just looked out of place<br /> As they poured on the scorn<br /> I wrote on yellow paper from a man who was the king<br /> He said my boy we'll have some crazy scenes<br /> There weren't any scenes at all like he was talkin' about<br /> He must've been the king of queens<br /> Well I could write a million songs about the things I've done<br /> But I could never sing them so they'd never get sung<br /> There's a law for the rich and one for the poor<br /> and there's another one for singers<br /> <br /> It's die young and live much longer<br /> Spend your money and sit and wonder<br /> No one came for miles around<br /> And said man your music is really funky<br /> <br /> I believe that I must tell the truth<br /> And say things as they really are<br /> But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth<br /> Could I ever be a star<br /> Nobody knows who's real and who's fakin'<br /> Everyone's shouting out loud<br /> It's only the glitter and shine that gets through<br /> Where's my Robin Hood outfit<br /> Well I've come and I've gone before you wink an eye<br /> No one ever cared enought to say goodbye<br /> The money's good and the time you have<br /> Fun and games galore<br /> But you spend your money and lie in bed forgotten<br /> And you wonder what you did it for<br /> No one came from miles around
