[Verse 1]

If I had my time again

I would do it all the same

And not change a single thing

Even when I was to blame

For the heartache and the pain

That I caused throughout my years

How I learned to be a man

Through the laughter and the tears

[Chorus]

Situation no win

Rush for a change of atmosphere

I can't go on, so I give in

Gotta get myself right outta here

[Verse 2]

Now I'm fully grown

And I know where it's at

Somehow I stayed thin

While the other guys got fat

All the chances that I've blown

And the times that I've been down

I didn't get too high

Kept my feet on the ground

[Chorus]

Situation no win

Rush for a change of atmosphere

I can't go on, so I give in

Gotta get myself right outta here

[Interlude: Mick Jones, Big Bank Hank (Spoken), Peter Sellers (Spoken)]

Yes, yes, delightful, delightful

Rush for a change of atmosphere

Mmm, I wish I could sing like that

Not everything's singing, you know

The only important thing these days is rhythm and melody

Rhythm

And melody

(A time to cry, a time to laugh)

(A time to cry, a time to laugh)

(A time to cry, a time to laugh)

(A time to cry, a time to laugh)

(A time to cry, a time to laugh)

(A time to cry, a time to laugh)

(A time to cry, a time to laugh)

[Verse 3]

And of all my friends

You've been the best to me

Soon will be the day

When I repay you handsomely

Broken hearts are hard to mend

I know, I've had my share

But life just carries on

Even when I'm not there

[Chorus]

Situation no win

Rush for a change of atmosphere

I can't go on, so I give in

Gotta get myself right outta here

Situation no win

Rush for a change of atmosphere

I can't go on, so I give in

Gotta get myself right outta here

[Outro]

Gotta get myself right

Gotta get myself right

Gotta get myself right

Outta here

Gotta get myself right

Gotta get myself right

Gotta get myself right

Outta here
