I can have a little less
So you can live a little better
You can sit and make a mess
And I can find a way to tidy up
It’s never too late son.
You would never concentrate
On what you did or what you said
Oh ‘you can make it, you can make it
You can make it’ you just make it up

Well if you make peace with that
Then you’ll be just fine

Saved your life once or twice
Saved your life a thousand times
Fanfare, no fanfare
Hold it tight, all in time,
Only trying to make it right
Fanfare, no fanfare

Easy to want but not to get
Easy to lose but not to win
Easy to get but not to give
Easy to die but not to live
I could eat a little less
So you could feel a little better
I’ll put on a little weight
So you can find a place to hang it up
But I never liked it all that much

Opinions aren’t even a crime
Here is mine, you’re a swine
But it’s fine, though it’s time after time
That I peel back the plastic
Tear down the barriers and
Smash through the bleachers
And can’t stand the features

Saved your life once or twice
Saved your life a thousand times
Fanfare, no fanfare
Hold it tight, all in time,
Only trying to make it right
Fanfare, no fanfare
Day in, day out
It’s a sad affair
You just stand there
No fanfare

Opinions aren’t even a crime, here is mine
You’re a swine and your spine is too fine of a line
To define,
Though you’re lacking in backbone
A flash in the pan, it is sad
You’re all the world is spitting out

Saved your life once or twice
Saved your life a thousand times
Fanfare, no fanfare
Hold it tight, all in time,
Only trying to make it right
Fanfare, no fanfare
Day in, day out
It’s a sad affair
You just stand there
No fanfare
