An easy operator on the side of the road
A million dollar man in a lower-class home
Chopping trees for needs of a spiritual kind
Forever getting low while he tried to be high
He was an early morning eagle flying through from the fire
Barely getting over, forget getting by
But it's all the same to Billy Kincade
If he had to do it over he would do it the same
He was living in the end
He was living in the end
Polly and her pity wasn't pretty at all
She concentrated fully on the shine of the star
But your pennies, just a pension
She never let go
They always dominated everything that she owned
She could have stopped to say she didn't have the time
But how could she afford to pay attention to that?
But now it's all the same for Polly the Vain
If she had to do it over she would do it the same
She was living in the end
She was living in the end
Are you alright darling, alright now?
You'll never be, never be the same
Are you alright darling, alright now?
Don't you ever wanna, ever wanna see some change?
You didn't see it coming
That's the tale of his life
Easy operator laid to rest in the night
He had to take the hit, it's always the same
And that's the waste you see in killing Billy Kincade
That's the waste you see in killing Billy Kincade
Are you alright darling, alright now?
Don't you ever wanna, ever wanna see some change?
Are you alright darling, alright now?
Don't you ever wanna, ever wanna see some change?
Are you alright darling, alright now?
Don't you ever wanna, ever wanna see some change?

We began doing this thing ah, almost ten years ago
Just a couple of guys in the basement
The couple of people watching us
One of these people used to love this song
And we sing it for him 'cause he's no longer with us
But we do it for him 'cause we think he comes to the shows
We do this song for Michael
