There Was a Time in America - Nick Kamen

I used to think I was honest

I was raised in a family way

To give my brother

One love in a special way

Well you know

I’m only human

Flesh and blood

Just the same as you

Speak the truth

Tell the same lies

Don’t avoid it

You know it’s true

Well you can be misunderstood

If you want to

How can I be satisfied…

With the way you treat me?

Let’s not pretend

There was a time in America

The dream had to end

Small boy from a small town

Took a trip to the big country

In search of fame and fortune

Found love on his way

He didn’t know what he had landed

Still he cared anyway

That girl blew his mind out

Poor boys never been the same

You can be misunderstood

If you want to

How can I be satisfied with the way you treat me

Let’s not pretend

There was a time in America

The dream had to end

Let’s not pretend

There was a time in America

The dream had to end
