they don't want no fools round here
but i'll stick around for one last beer
time it goes so slow
that sometimes i don't know
what i give my life for
and why so many people lie
or just don't care at all
but this time i'm not gonna cry
no more
this time i'm not gonna cry

never seemed to understand
why life and death can't be planned
don't forget your dreams
illusion's what it seems
it's just the world we know
and all the time we wonder why
cannot realise
but this time i'm not gonna cry
no more
this time i'm not gonna cry

trying to escape this hell
but i got no mortal soul to sell
can't afford the price
of things that's very nice
they glitter in the sun
i see them from my eye
looking very fine
but this time i'm not gonna cry
no more
this time i'm not gonna cry

wake up screaming in the night
reaching round to find the light
demons go away
come again some other day
when i'm not home
it's not time to die
there's things still undone
but this time i'm not gonna cry
no more
this time i'm not gonna cry

discovering it's too late for me
i cannot change reality
twisted fantasies
of horror and disease
i pray won't come to pass
an ordinary guy
with so much left to see
but this time i'm not gonna cry
no more
this time i'm not gonna cry
