Fair Warning Todd Rundgren

[Intro]
You know, wishing won't make it so
Hoping won't do it, praying won't do it
Religion won't do it, philosophy won't do it
The Supreme Court won't do it
The president and the Congress won't do it
The U.N. won't do it, the h-bomb won't do it
The sun and the moon won't do it
And God won't do it
And I certainly won't do it
That leaves you, you'll have to do it

[Verse 1]
I know that you've been wondering
If I'm the same man inside
Never tried to fool you
'Cause I've got nothing to hide
I gave you fair warning I could never be tied down
'Til I've seen paradise with my very own eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
Love owns us all, time owns us all, life owns us all
But the world doesn't own me (the world doesn't own me)

[Chorus]
Don't you follow me now
I ain't afraid to say I may have been wrong, yeah
I have to go now
I'd rather live by a dream than live by a lie, yeah yeah
And that's why
