You see me standing here alone but I'm with you
 And I feel that you're with me too
 And I need to find some approval
 And everything's gonna be alright
 Once I do my thing in this game called life
 Now I was taught that common sense
 Would get me through
 But the powers that be don't use vaseline
 When they're busy screwing you
 Do what I say and not what I do and everything's gonna be alright
 Once I do what I'm told in the game of life
 For a moment or two you lose your glue and you fall apart
 But it's alright now
 Yes it's alright now
 For a moment there I was really scared
 Nearly stopped my heart
 But I'm alright now
 Yes I'm alright now
 Yes I'm alright now
 You see me standing here alone but I'm with you
 And I feel that you're with me too
And I need to find some approval
l And everything's gonna be alright
 Once I find my way in this game called life
 Do what I'm told in this game called life
 Do my thing in this game called life
 And everything's gonna be alright once I do my thing
 In this game called life
