"I am a musician by profession, that's my whole life, and I didn't want to waste it in easy retirement"
There was a slight change made to the lyrics, before the song was released. It is marked "/" here. What comes before the mark was original word, what comes next - is a changed word. And I give these words here as this is my favourite song from the whole concert and it's really great!
The harder we play,
The faster we fall,
When we think that we know it all,
We know nothing at all.
The letter arrives,
Like a bolt from the blue,
So what's left of your lives,
All your dreams lost to you.
Say it ain't true,
Say it today,
When I open my eyes,
Will it all go away?
Say it's not true,
Say it for real,
Can be happenin' to you,
Can be happenin' to me.
It's hard not to cry,
It's hard to believe,
So much heartache and pain,
So much reason to grieve.
With the wonders of Science,
All the knowledge we've stored,
Magic potions/cocktails for lifes,
People just can't afford
Say it's not true,
You can say it's not right,
It's hard to believe,
The size of the crime.
Say it's not true,
You can say it's not real,
Can be happenin' to you,
Can be happenin' to me.
