People say I'm always happy But they don't know the sorta shit I've seen So if you tell me that you're feeling hopeless Oh, I know just what you mean If you dropped off the radar Would they stop and wonder why And if that's the case, why show your face? Why do we even try? 'Cuz you've gotta hold on Even if you can't be strong You know you gotta hold on Even if you can't, even if you can't The world is not out to get you In fact, they sent me out here to tell you We had a meeting the other night And it's gonna be ... all right I won't pretend that I can put an end To you pain and your sorrow And I'd never say that your problems will All go away tomorrow 'Cuz you've gotta hold on Take 'em as they come You know you've gotta hold Take 'em as they come, take 'em one by one The world is not out to get you In fact, they sent me out here to tell you We had a meeting the other night And it's gonna be ... all right We had a meeting the other night And it's gonna be ... all right But you've gotta hold on

I never had a lot of schoolin' No letters behind my name But I'm not foolin' when I say I've got the answers I've earned my degree Because somehow I've got you talking to me I've got the answers I've got it right Because somehow I've got you here with me tonight And if I find the way to make you say that you're my girl Then I'm the smartest man in the world The smartest man in the world The smartest man in the world I never attended Harvard I lied on my resumé But you must trust me when I say I've got the answers I've earned my degree Because somehow I've got you right here with me I've got the answers I've got it right Because somehow I've got you right here with me tonight And if I find the way to make you say that you're my girl Then I'm the smartest man in the world The smartest man in the world The smartest man in the world And if I find the fountain of never getting old And teach the brand new children to do everything they're told And then I took a lump of clay and turned it into gold I still would not be half as smart as the man who wins your heart Yeah, I got the answers Yeah, I got it right Because somehow I've got you right here with me tonigth I've got the answers A perfect score! Because I found you and I'm smart enough not to ask for more 'Cuz if I find the way to make you say that you're my girl Then I'm the smartest man in the world The smartest man in the world The smartest man in the world

The problem with the present It's tied up with the past And the trouble with the future It's coming up too fast But don't be afraid Don't spend your life Just counting up the days Dry your eyes, little girl 'Cuz we've got all the time in the world The problem with the present It's never gonna last The trouble with the future You turn around and it's passed you by But don't be afraid Don't spend your life Just counting up the days Dry your eyes, little girl 'Cuz we've got all the time in the world Seventeen Swiss scientists Tally up the time it takes to tally up the time (Time spent worrying 'bout time) But every single day you & I exchange Presents of past things Constantly basking In time everlasting But don't be afraid Don't spend your time Counting the days Dry your eyes, little girl We'll weave through the seconds Just read me off the minutes These days, these day are ours We've got all the time in the world

Wake up in the back of an ambulance Even though you don't deserve a second chance You're working on four or five How are you alive? Is it luck or is it in the chromosomes You could play guitar for the Rolling Stones And you love to let it bleed More than you need Who takes it all in even when it's hazardous? Little Lazarus Whose friends place bets on how much longer they'll exist? Little Lazarus Whose idea of having a lot of fun Always ends with me dialing 911 ? Your luck's running out And so am I Who takes it all in even when it's hazardous? Little Lazarus Whose friends place bets on how much longer they'll exist? Little Lazarus Now, I don't want to see the day When you fail to resurrect Sooner than you expect Yeah, I guess so And what started out as funny could not be less so Whose idea of having a lot of fun Always ends with me calling 9-1-1 Well, your luck's running out And so am I Who takes it all in even when it's hazardous? Little Lazarus Whose friends place bets on how much longer they'll exist? Little Lazarus
