I aint no wide eyed rebel
Oh but I aint no preacher's son
Now, I see the trouble
In all the loving that I've done

And the world
Aint no harder than it's ever been
Looking for love in the lies
Of a lonely friend

And 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
Aint 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
But no one knows where time goes
Another moon is stunning
There's only shadows that she shows

And the world
Aint no easier than it's ever been
Looking for love in the lies
Of a lonely friend

I aint no wide eyed rebel
Oh but I aint no preacher's son
