Let's walk on by, this time, this time
Let's keep it right, just like it used to be
It's such a long and wasted ride
When you're on your own, when you're all alone
I throw a word in for the real men
Hey driver man, hey cardboard man
On a cardboard scene you know it's never make-believe
Now, do you believe in me?
And freedom's only what they strip away from you
You fight back
But what you gain is nothing like it
 [bad word] 
Let's walk on by
It's a mellow song and I mean it well
So don't you trample me down!
Cause it took a lot of nerve
For me to try [bad word] across
Let's do it, let's do it right
I tried, I tried so hard I could only fail
Let's do it, let's do it right 

Right now, right now
And don't you ever walk away from me
I'm gonna need you round for the rebound
I search myself for sheets of paper
Some little stain, some little stain
And this is all conclusive evidence
Everybody rise, I rest my case
 [bad word] 

Right now, right now
I find it hard being strong these days
I find it very hard, hard
And even harder in the night-time
When all these [bad word] down
I find I'm very, very, hard to define
I could not be electric animal's, front-man
All distorted, all noise 
And this is never, ever, my familiar voice
 [bad word]
