Verse 2:
Every time I get the inspiration
To go change things around
No one wants to help me look for places
Where new things might be found
Where can I turn
When my fair-weather friends cop out
What's it all about
Each time things start to happen again
I think I got something good goin' for myself and what goes wrong
