Throw me a line
Let's steer this to safety together
She says it's fine
But it's only a temporary measure
If you don't say a word
And face the other way
The whole thing is absurd
That's all that I can say
I'm trying to be nice
And this is what I get in return
Will we ever learn?
You could be waiting for some recognition
Hoping for the accolade
Heading for some town where they know
Your name
It is a hopeless and pointless charade
Lets throw a dice
And devise a solution together
If you want my advice
Continue your new life of leisure
If you don't say a word
And face the other way
The whole thing is absurd
That's all that I can say
I'm trying to be nice
And this is what I get in return
Will we ever learn?
You could be waiting for this bus forever
Waiting for the fun to begin
Heading for somewhere you could start again
But your excuses will always wear thin
GUITAR SOLO
Will we ever learn?
You could be waiting for some recognition
Hoping for the accolade
Heading for some town where they know
Your name
It is a hopeless and pointless charade
You could be holding out for celebrations
A party upon your return
But you'll never get a hero's welcome home
And that's just something that you have
To learn
But you'll never get a hero's welcome home
And that's just something that you have
To learn
And you'll never get a hero's welcome home
And that's just something that you have
To learn
