Every night
I go to bed
and take a trip
inside my head
and I wonder
exactly what
my purpose is
and do I live
to see a hundred
am I rich or
am I poor
what's the score
I don't want to be surprised

 [bad word] 
I wanna take a journey to the end of my life
cause I just want to see what it's like
am I loved or am I hated
in your face or understated
how old will I be when I die
do I turn out all right

Is my fate up to me
or is [bad word] by [bad word] 
will my kids go to school
or stay at home
in the future
is there peace
is there war
whats the score
I don't want to be surprised

 [bad word] 

I just want to see
what goes on
a chance to put it right
before it goes wrong
select the things I say
that I regret and
erase them all, erase them all
save my friends
so they don't get hurt
get the mustard stain
off my favorite shirt
have more vision than
a crystal ball, a crystal ball
I don't want to be surprised
