I’m a man, a man of simple pleasures
I got all I need, so give me whisky measures
With dyslexic eyes, I’m seeing very clearly, by the way
I’m on my way

But all of my life
I’ve been treated like a fool
But I’m no one’s fool

Here I go once again
Trying hard to pretend
There’s a future in your man-made rules
I’ll be governed by the road
Get to shed this heavy load
I see no future, so leave me alone in the past

I am told the world is nearly ending
But when I look outside the birds are always singing
You throw sticks and bones
Remember every dog will have it’s day
I’m on my way

But all of my life
I’ve been treated like a fool
But I’m no one’s fool

Here I go once again
Trying hard to pretend
There’s a future in your man-made rules
I’ll be governed by the road
Get to shed this heavy load
I see no future, so leave me alone in the past

Go on
Let the righteous guide you home to where you belong
I’ll stay dancing to my favourite tune
That’s where I belong

You won’t take me for a ride
I’m far too fast for you to keep up with me
You won’t take me for a ride
Never catch the man that need no money

[I’m not gonna be standing in the line
Waiting for you just to kick me out]

You won’t take me for a ride
(I’m not gonna be standing in the line)
You won’t take me for a ride, I’ll calm down
(Waiting for you just to kick me out)
You won’t take me for a ride
You won’t take me for a ride, I’ll calm down
