lyrics

Well I thought of some things I’m glad that I didn’t say
Arrows and slings in the cold grey light of day
Three men on a mission just bidding our time
Finding our wisdom in a bottle of wine
Livin’ to fight another day
And thinkin’ we all knew the way

We was wrong yeah yeah wrong
Never knew ‘bout what we were missin’
By not doin’ instead of just wishin’
Just bidding our time goin’ out of our minds
Hopin’ life wouldn’t take us too long
We was wrong, yeah, yeah wrong

We’ve been chasin’ it round down many a road for years
When we been broke down it all ended up right here
We sang for the losers and followed the blind
With the world on a string that would never unwind
Runnin’ till the wind turns around
Like the lost that would never be found

We was wrong yeah yeah wrong
Never knew ‘bout what we were missin’
By not doin’ instead of just wishin’
Just bidding our time goin’ out of our minds
Hopin’ life wouldn’t take us too long
We was wrong, yeah, yeah wrong

Well time after time we’ve seen it all slip away
It’s so easy to fall when you’re climbin’ the wall night and day
Instead of floatin’ downstream and tryin’ to hide
We could sail the wide ocean and cast our nets wide
The fever she’s still hangin’ on
Forgotten but still we ain’t gone

We was wrong yeah yeah wrong
Never knew ‘bout what we were missin’
By not doin’ instead of just wishin’
Just bidding our time goin’ out of our minds
Hopin’ life wouldn’t take us too long
We was wrong, yeah, yeah wrong
