TODD RUNDGREN - Fair Warning lyrics

Hoping won't do it, praying won't do it

Religion won't do it, philosophy won't do it

The supreme court won't do it,

the president and the congress won't do it

The UN won't do it, the H-bomb won't do it,

the sun and the moon won't do it

And God won't do it,

and I certainly won't do it

That leaves you, you'll have to do it

I know that you've been wondering

if I'm the same man inside

Never tried to fool you

'cause I've got nothing to hide

I gave you fair warning I could never be tied down

'Til I've seen paradise with my very own eyes

Love owns us all, Time owns us all, Life owns us all

But the world doesn't own me

Dontcha follow me now

I ain't afraid to say I may have been wrong

I have to go now

I'd rather live by a dream than live by a lie

And that's why

There ain't no cure for what I've got baby

We just have to suffer

I feel no pain, I can't complain,

things could always be rougher

But I picked up this banner

and I just can't put it down (No)

I can't let the world die just 'cause no one would try

Dontcha follow me now

Everybody's got to find his own place in the sun,

everyone

So shine on me now

I'd rather live by a dream then live by a lie

You can say what you will about me

talk is cheap and I don't mind

When you lay your life down in them grooves

you know you're bound to get scratched up sometime

It's only just a song, pay me no mind

I have to go now

You've got to walk that road alone

if you walk it at all

Don't follow me now

I gave you all fair warning

Now it's goodbye

And every once in a while why don't you think of me

'Cause it's a long, long time and a long way to go

Can't you see the light shining in my eyes

'Cause it's just one victory

'Cause your dream goes on forever

Don't you know that I've been trying

to get my trip together

Be a real man

I got to be a real man

1, 2, 3, do it one more time

Be a real man

Everybody be a real man

Go then, don't believe, and I don't know

'Cause I got to be a real man

You can be a man, a real man

I'll swim that river, climb that mountain

You and me, we all gotta be, real men
