| You wake up in the morning
 | 
| Look for a clue, something new
 | 
| Turn on the radio and it’s as dead
 | 
| As the visions dying in your head
 | 
| And when you were young
 | 
| You had big ideas, no hidden fears
 | 
| You had your heroes, they were walking tall
 | 
| Now your devotion seems comical
 | 
| So now you got older and the world’s got colder than it used to be
 | 
| Every day gets longer and turns into a darker night
 | 
| Down in the gutter nothing seems to matter but your history
 | 
| I couldn’t get it, I couldn’t get it right
 | 
| You played the game as children
 | 
| Didn’t understand, life’s not so grand
 | 
| 'Cause love hurts you and you could feel
 | 
| Lonely, lonely, lonely one
 | 
| Some people get it easy
 | 
| They got it made, so unafraid
 | 
| You’ll be the fool and find the winner
 | 
| He’s gonna take it all
 | 
| So now you got older and the world’s got colder than it used to be
 | 
| Every day gets longer and turns into a darker night
 | 
| Down in the gutter nothing seems to matter but your history
 | 
| I couldn’t get it, I couldn’t get it right
 | 
| So now you got older and the world’s got colder than it used to be
 | 
| Every day gets longer and turns into a darker night
 | 
| Hey, you got older and this world’s got colder than it used to be
 | 
| Every day gets longer and turns into a darker night
 | 
| Down in the gutter nothing seems to matter but your history
 | 
| I couldn’t get it, I couldn’t get it right, no, no, no, no
 | 
| I couldn’t get it, I couldn’t get it right |
