Текст (слова) песни: Joel, Billy - The Great Wall Of China

Advice is cheap you can take it from me
Its yours to keep cause opinions are free
Nobody knows about the trouble Ive seen
Nobodys perfect, mister, nobodys clean
It costs too much and takes too long to find out too late
Some words are not heard til after theyre spoken
Your role was protective, your soul was too defective
Some people just dont have a heart to be broken

CHORUS

We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China
If youd only had a little more faith in me
In lieu of diamonds, gold and platinum reminders will still shine bright
All the kings men and all the kings horses
Cant put you together the way you used to be
We could have been standing on the Great Wall of China

You take a piece of whatever you touch
Too many pieces means youre touching too much
You never win if you cant play it straight
You only beat me if you get me to hate
It must be so lonely to think that you have only
Somebody elses life to live if they let you
I aint too selective, but it dont take no detective
To find out how fast your friends will forget you

We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China
Now all youre going to be is history
Help yourself, its all you can eat at the Empire Diner tonight
You coulda had class, you coulda been a contender
Charlie, you shoulda looked out for me
You could have been standing, standing on the Great Wall of China

This was not your calling, just look how far youve fallen
I heard your story, man, youve got to be joking
Keep things in perspective, this is my true objective
Why tear this heart out if its only been broken?

CHORUS
