Patrick J. Buchanan - You're Asking Me lyrics

You're asking me, "what's it leading to? Will we live a long life, will it treat us fair?" No point asking me because I haven't got a clue You're asking me, "will it be alright?" If you're asking me don't take my advice And don't make me responsible For you living your life I could say there will be laughter, you will never cry I could just as easily go tell a lie, couldn't I, yeah What would come after, that would be unwise If that's what you really want Then get a life, get a life, get a life You're asking me, "will it be alright?" Because I've been around, I have the insight And I was there the first time so I must know what it's like If you're asking me, don't take my advice Do we learn from all the questions that we ask Do we listen to the past, we never do It's up to you to go and make your own mistakes Have a go and break a leg But please don't come home crying when you do You're asking me, don't take my advice Because I've been there before Doesn't come to pa** That I have all the answers to the questions that you ask I'm telling you because you're asking me Anyway, what am I supposed to say Could say everything is really brilliant Anything to make your worries disappear Put your conscience in the clear And make you think there's nothing left to fear You're asking me, "what's it leading to? Will we live a long life, will it treat us fair?" No point asking me because I wasn't even there First time around it was really grand But inside something said to me Go get a life, get a life Now that I'm here I can't understand Why anyone is asking me, if I could give a damn I could say there will be laughter, you will never cry I could just as easily go tell a lie, couldn't I? Then what would come after, that would be unwise If that's what you really want then Get a life, get a life, get a life If you're asking me, don't take my advice
