If I ever get the chance, I'll let them know just how I feel I'd like to speak my mind, but that just wasn't in the deal It's never easy being first to walk down any road I'd trade the glory just to crawl out from this heavy load You should hear the things they say behind my back And when I turn the other cheek, they only sharpen their attack I run the race but now it seems the race is running me I try to keep my cool but all this heat won't let me be No matter how hard or well I played, I can tell you that I never had it made I only want to play the game, I only want to make my name For others who never had the chance, laid out like some sacrificial lamb A long and lonely road, until I steal my way back home again And here's to you, Mr. Robinson! Here's to you, Mr. Robinson
