The Present Not the Past

I am forsaken and down Can't catch my breath Condemned, always to wander Though I couldn't care less Strange how some people fall to the side And there's some disappear Oh I try to remember In this dark atmosphere Come on and wake me up I won't look back You know I understand Live the present not the past Wisdom is king The Joker he laughed Dead is such a long long time Won't get away All of mankind I met a man who was sure Could tell me a lot His price: one glass of water And the truth he'd unlock When you think you've got everything That's your first big mistake You try to be so clever But there is no escape Come on and wake me up I won't look back You know I understand Live the present not the past Wisdom is king The Joker he laughed Dead is such a long long time Won't get away All of mankind Year by year they go so fast And everything's A blurred photograph Day by day's a real hard climb Getting nowhere In fact it's a crime Come on and wake me up I won't look back You know I understand Live the present not the past Wisdom is king The Joker he laughed Dead is such a long long time Won't get away All of mankind Year by year they go so fast And everything's A blurred photograph Day by day's a real hard climb Getting nowhere In fact it's a crime
