Well a thing was said to me Times your enemy It may heal a wound, but it wont hide a scar And the only thing to do Is to yourself be true cause a head thats in the clouds wont see the stars When I was young I never walked away Id nail my colours to the wall Though black and white soon turned to shades of grey There is one thing that I really know for sure Nobodys gonna set me up Nobodys gonna set me up Theres a bitterness in you cause all you ever do Is to drag your spirit screaming to the floor But you gotta make your luck Before your time is up And they take you in your box out through the door But Im not saying I dont care at all Id rescue you before you drown But if behind my back they start to talk Im a tougher kind of man this time around Nobodys gonna set me up Nobodys gonna set me up When you look back and see what you have done Well was it really that much fun To laugh and kick the fallen ones Gonna grow another skin This ones getting thin Ive been bitten twice but never lost my nerve Well you gotta hide the hurt When people dish the dirt cause if you dont try nothing thats what you deserve There are people with their eyes of green Smiling when you take a fall Maybe a friend or someone never seen But even with my back against the wall Nobodys gonna set me up Nobodys gonna set me up People said to me Times your enemy It may heal a wound, but it wont hide a scar Nobodys gonna set me up Nobodys gonna set me up And the only thing to do Is to yourself be true cause a head thats in the clouds wont see the stars
