Every morning's a lost cause
The world comes closer every day
There's nowhere left for fools and lovers
To dream their days away
Every night's a new worry
Someone's to blame and I don't know who
I'm all alone with a load of doubt
I'm lost in the dark and there's no way out
And there's no one to tell me what it's all about
Even if they really knew
But a man in the street told me not to worry
It'll all come right somehow
He may not be a liar but I'm sure he's wrong
And I know I'm never gonna be a cowboy now
Every day's a debt collector
They don't give up until you're dead
They say you have to sell your soul
Just to buy your bread
And every corner's a new crisis
Every speech is a different scene
A better world when the battle's won
Dreams come true when the day is done
But if you love me you gotta love my gun
Is all they really mean
But a man in the street told me not to worry
It'll all come right somehow
He may not be a liar but I'm sure he's wrong
And I know I'm never gonna be a cowboy now
There's too many promises –
And empty smiles
You gotta get off the street 'cos the dogs are running wild
But a man in the street told me not to worry
It'll all come right somehow
He may not be a liar but I'm sure he's wrong
And I know I'm never gonna be a cowboy now
Every newsreel's a new nightmare
Every story just brings you down
All the signs say hate for sale
In every store in town
Every headline's a heartbreaker
What in the world is going on
They take your money – They sell you lies
They buy your dreams and it's no surprise
When they shoot your heroes before your eyes
And then cry because he's gone
But a man in the street told me not to worry
It'll all come right somehow
He may not be a liar but I'm sure he's wrong
And I know I'm never gonna be a cowboy now
He may not be a liar but I'm sure he's wrong
And I know I'm never gonna be a cowboy now
