[00:02.35]I went searching for the truth
[00:04.71]But in my innocence I found
[00:07.54]All the con men and their acrobats
[00:10.75]Who stomped me in the ground
[00:13.44]If I count up their percentages
[00:16.23]I know they're getting rich
[00:19.06]But they haven't taken everything
[00:21.74]Those paybacks are a bitch
[00:23.72]🎵
[00:24.27]Though I've lost quite a lot
[00:26.75]I am still in control
[00:29.58]They can keep what they've got
[00:31.95]But they can't have my soul
[00:34.94]🎵
[00:35.22]And if I don't have this all worked out
[00:40.55]Still I'm getting closer, getting closer
[00:47.17]I still have far to go, no doubt
[00:51.54]But I'm getting closer, getting closer
[00:57.01]🎵
[00:57.29]What was ripped off by professionals
[01:00.16]Is not all that it seems
[01:02.48]While I must live up to contracts
[01:05.21]I did not give up my dreams
[01:07.83]If I see it as experience
[01:11.04]It hasn't gone to waste
[01:13.16]Lately all the missing pieces
[01:16.07]Have been falling into place
[01:18.19]🎵
[01:18.88]And if I could go back and start over somehow
[01:24.48]I would not change that much
[01:27.03]Knowing what I know now
[01:29.88]Thought there have been sins I will regret
[01:35.36]Still I'm getting close, getting closer
[01:41.96]I don't have all the answers yet
[01:46.31]But I'm getting closer, getting clos
[01:51.37]🎵
[02:03.73]I'm getting closer, yeah
[02:05.57]🎵
[02:35.53]I'm a mark for every shyster
[02:38.33]From Topanga to Berlin
[02:41.14]And I should have learned to kick them out
[02:44.18]As soon as they crawled in
[02:46.48]So to every bank in Switzerland
[02:49.49]That stores my stolen youth
[02:51.93]I'm all right because despite the laws
[02:55.09]You cannot hide the truth
[02:56.88]🎵
[02:57.45]And although you will say
[03:00.06]I am still too naive
[03:03.21]But I have not lost faith
[03:05.61]In the things I believe
[03:08.05]🎵
[03:08.41]And if I don't have a this all worked out
[03:13.80]Still I'm getting closer, getting closer
[03:20.52]I still have far to go, no doubt
[03:24.70]But I'm still getting closer, getting close
[03:29.71]🎵
[03:41.23]I'm getting closer, yeah yeah
[03:46.34]I can't get no far away, oh no
[05:00.82]🎵
