SHOTGUN SEAT (NOT AGAIN) - OVERDUE REFRAIN

Say goodbye to the times that you knew
The times you knew THE TRUTH
Well I thought I knew it too

Forever after the days have changed
They’ll act in a different way
You’ll see it again today

People ‘round me just act so strange
Believing the words they say
The future it dies today

How can you cross that path again?
As you ventured into that road
You were flattened like a toad

Your reality takes a twist
Endless lines that just get missed
Lies that just get kissed

It’s in your eyes
You will be fooled again

Don’t come to me when your whole world blows
I’ll remember in days of old
How high you held your nose

Morality can be judged
By the few who act for love
Well they speak for the Lord above

I’ll turn my ear as they say what’s right
The answers for urban blight
Who to sleep with tonight

It’s in your eyes
You will be fooled again
Oh, you will be fooled again

No, not again

And if you say to me He is the one, the one to lead us all
And then you say to me that I’m not free to act as I please at all
And then you say to me you Know the way to truly be holy
And you say to me that I’m A fool, only a fool would disagree

Riding high in the shotgun seat
Waving into the street
From sea to shining sea

Can’t you see that we’re not the same
Don’t look for one to blame
I never wanted the things you say

Forget that vision of one and all
Our diversity makes us strong
And I’m not gonna play along

It’s in your eyes
You will be fooled again
Oh, you will be fooled again

No, not again

I will turn and say that No one man could possibly be that right
I will stand and say that My mind is certainly my might
I will shout and say that I know me and my God knows me
I will scream and say Let people think, let people be, let them be

No, not again
Not again
No, not again
Not again
