lyrics

When I was a young man, I would talk myself out of coming a-round. Every little action was enough for me to write home about. How can I understand where you’re coming from if you never get here? Sometimes you get a fair shake. Sometimes you get what you pay for. You say practice what you preach. I say be careful what you wish for.

You might not know what you want, but at least you know what you need. You said no man is an island. I said maybe every man is. How can I understand where you’re coming from? I only know where you’ve been. How can you tell me what to do when you don’t know what I’m good for? You say practice what you preach. I say be careful what you wish for.

There wasn’t always darkness. I was there when the lights went out. I’ll never understand what was happening at home. You say practice what you preach. I say be careful what you wish for.
