You've been strung up for far too long

I know you're dying to relax

But you got a feeling that's growing strong

Trust yourself you know you've got the knack

And there's no time like the present

Fore the aching gets incessant

So why not just face up to the facts

 

You kid yourself that you like going solo

A freight train heading down the tracks

You watch your life sliding by in slomo

Just be careful it don't slip down through the cracks

You were once a man of action

Till it drove you to distraction

So why not just face up to the facts

Idleness is  an inveigling companion

Who whispers pleasing thoughts into your ear

Leads down to a dead end box canyon

I'll seed that idea let it play on your fears… on your fears

 

You don't think much of pain or discomfort

Why put yourself on the rack

Is it so bad for logic to be triumphant

Why keep on taking the flack

Your patent may be pending

But don't waste your happy ending

So why not just face up to the facts

Why not just face up to the facts
