The Funny Farm

Have mercy on a fool like me
My eyes were open but I just couldn't see
The way the world works without honesty
Honestly, I was blind

All my heroes have been laid to rest
And all my idols I have come to possess
I'm still looking for some true happiness in my heart

Nothing here is certain
We chase a shadow of our own dream's design
Wonder why it takes so long
Wonder just where we went wrong
We hold a candle in the wind to light our way

Go lightly on your judgement please
I didn't know the world was filled with such greed
Only asking let your heart intercede
And I know they still exist

They say you learn something new every day
I want to learn to forget all this dismay
Finding out the way that some folks play
Only they's gonna win ...

Nothing here is sacred
Golden calf we worshipped fallen from its shrine
Left us standing here stranded
Only hope is to abandon
These foolish dreams that we've pursued for far too long

Nothing here is certain
We chase a shadow of our own dream's design
Wonder why it takes so long
Wonder just where we went wrong
We hold a candle in the wind to light our way

Have mercy, have mercy , have mercy...
