It's nothing serious, just something to say

A lighted cigarette he just throws it away

The conversation stops

But I'm reading from a different page

If I had wisdom I would throw it away

But he falls into line, falls into place

The answer's simple, I just can't feel it

A little compromise

(I can't act, I can't sing and I can't dance)

The conversation stops

But we're playing a different game

You had the wisdom, but you threw it away

But he falls into line, falls into place
