I ain t no wide eyed rebel
Oh, but I ain t no preacher s son
And now I see the trouble and all the loving that I ve done
And the world ain t no harder than it s ever been
Looking for love in the lies of a lonely friend

So much superstition and so much worry in my heart
I need a new religion it s time to make a brand new start
And the world ain t no easier than it s ever been
Looking for love in the lies of a lonely friend

Remember when we were in California
We were so much happier then
Now we re back in New York City
Looking for love in the lies of a lonely friend

And now the clocks are running
And no one knows where time goes
You know the moon is stunning
It s only shadows that she shows
And the world ain t no harder than it s every been
Looking got for love in the lies of a lonely friend

I ain t no wide eyed rebel
But I ain t no preacher s son
