Age

Well, I've been up and down, around and round and back again
I've been so many places I can't remember where or when
And my only boss was the clock on the wall and my only friend
Never really was a friend at all
I've traded love for pennies, I've sold my soul for less
Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time
I've turned inside out, around, about, and back and then
Found myself right back where I started again
Once I had myself a million, now I've only got a dime
But the difference don't seem quite so bad today
Now, with a nickel or a million, I was searching all the time
For something that I never lost or left behind
I've traded love for pennies, I've sold my soul for less
Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time
I've turned inside out, around, about, and back and then
Found myself right back where I started again
And now I'm in my second circle and I'm headin' for the top
And I've learned a lot of things along the way
And I'll be careful while I'm climbin' 'cause it hurts a lot to drop
And when you're down nobody gives a damn anyway
I've traded love for pennies, I've sold my soul for less
I lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time
I've turned inside out, around, about, and back and then
Found myself right back where I started again
