Upside To Downturn
There must be something wrong
For you to say what you do
If there is no problem
Then what's wrong with you
You've got to be a little off
For your dreams to be what they are
If you are not thinking
Then you ain't going far
There's no point in hanging 'round
If no one's on their way
So run off somewhere new now
If you've got nothing to say
I've had to deal with you so long
Why can't you bother someone new
I just can't stand it
To be near you
Why do you do those things
Even when they're wrong
Do you think that somehow
It makes you belong
You know that time will never stop
Or just sit around or stand
So get up and do something
Your life's in your hand
Have you been out again
Doing wrong things so bad
They just show how much
You lost what you had
I'd like to give you one more chance
To prove that you're alright
But you've gone too far now
You've faded into the night
