Two men on a journey

Not knowing where it would lead

Would it lead to fame, would it lead to shame

Hope it doesn’t lead to greed.

 

A guitar and a dream, time to hit the road

No matter how crazy it seems

Start to hit to mainstream, do the famous thing

Who cares if they’re acting obscene

 

A bestselling album, TV shows

The fame starts to take its toll.

Losing touch with all the ones they love

The sadness begins to grow

 

This fame will make you, this fame will break you

Your moment has already passed

The six string stops producing hits

Attention disappears in a flash…

Does fame really go that fast?

 

This world keeps spinning round

Can’t tell up from down

This world keeps spinning around

But we’re never gonna slow it down

 

The media machine says you no longer gleam

They’ve already taken their stance

The writing’s on the wall, it’s time to take your fall

You never really had a chance

You do whatever it takes, but you can’t shake

 

The fact that you’ve been outgrown

You change your shape, you can’t escape

The fact that you sold your soul…

Soon you’ll be an unknown

 

This world keeps spinning round

Can’t tell up from down

This world keeps spinning around

But we’re never gonna slow it down

 

(guitar solo)

 

This world keeps spinning round

Can’t tell up from down

This world keeps spinning around

But we’re never gonna slow it down

 

This world keeps spinning round

Can’t tell up from down anymore

This world keeps spinning around

But we’re not ready to close the door
