Fish - Lady Let It Lie lyrics

You should have listened to what your mother said You should have listened to what your father told you to do But you always did just what you always wanted to do Now you end up here singing in a gilded cage And for half your life you were wishing you were half your age Lady let it lie It's hard putting down your family roots when you're living in A mobile home, but there's always blood even in a rolling stone You squeezed me hard for the white collar dream But you woke up to a tie dye lifestyle and its choking me Lady let it lie Chorus All the boys want to be all the girls want to be all the boys I don't want to be me no more All the boys want to be all the girls in this turnaround world I don't want to be me no more They once said i was a rising star declaring me a bright contender When it all worked out i was just a pretender I could never disagree if you said you were dissatisfied But why you got to take it out on a guy that tried But surely there's something left, something worth fighting for Something out of all this mess that's worth building on Maybe we can start again, maybe give it one more try Or do we just walk away, and maybe fade and die Chorus All the boys want to be all the girls want to be all the boys I don't want to be me no more All the boys want to be all the girls in this turnaround world I don't want to be me no more I don't want to be me no more Me no more (dick/paton/ca**idy)
