Lyrics
I ain't no wide eyed rebel
I am not an idealistic rebel with naive optimism.
Oh, but I ain't no preachers son
I am not the son of a religious leader.
And now I see the trouble and all the loving that Ive done
I reflect on the challenges and love in my past.
And the world ain't no harder than its ever been
The world hasn't become more difficult than before.
Looking for love in the lies of a lonely friend
Searching for love in the dishonesty of a lonely companion.
So much superstition and so much worry in my heart
Feeling a lot of superstition and worry in my heart.
I need a new religion its time to make a brand new start
Seeking a new belief system, aiming for a fresh start.
And the world ain't no easier than its ever been
The world hasn't become easier than before.
Looking for love in the lies of a lonely friend
Searching for love in the falsehoods of a lonely friend.
Remember when we were in California
Recalling a happier time in California.
We were so much happier then
We were much happier in the past.
Now were back in New York City
Now, in New York City, seeking love in deceptive friendships.
Looking for love in the lies of a lonely friend
Continuing the search for love amid falsehoods.
And now the clocks are running
Time is passing, and its direction is uncertain.
And no one knows where time goes
No one knows where time goes.
You know the moon is stunning
The moon is beautiful, but it only reveals shadows.
Its only shadows that she shows
Highlighting the deceptive nature of appearances.
And the world ain't no harder than its every been
The world's challenges haven't increased.
Looking got for love in the lies of a lonely friend
Seeking love in the deceit of a lonely friend persists.
I ain't no wide eyed rebel
Reiterating that I am not an overly optimistic rebel.
But I ain't no preachers son
Emphasizing that I am not the son of a religious leader.
