[Verse 1] I am the author This is my book It is a mistake Just have a look When once its city Hits down for good I know you can't change it Wouldn't if I could [Pre-Chorus] Hey, little girl sitting next to me Never let him tell you what you need to be Never let him tell you how to write your book Never let him tell you how you need to look [Chorus] Rolling, look out in the night Hold yourself out to the light Real ones don't fade away No, they just burn out if and when [Verse 2] And I'm the director This is my set This is my movie That heaven sent [Pre-Chorus] Hey, little girl sitting next to me Never let him tell you what you need to be Never let him tell you how to write your book Never let him tell you how you need to look [Chorus] Rolling, deep out in the night Hold yourself out to the light Real ones don't fade away No, they just burn a different way [Verse 3] Well you know they said it can't be done This war of wars, it can't be won Every soldier's someone's son Headed for that Death machine for every teen Let's send 'em out into a dream Here's my rifle, here's my gun Here's my only son Whoa On the run [Bridge] Tell us something, make it good Tell me life should understood Tell me that it's just begun Oh, tell me that you're having fun [Chorus 2] Sunday beacon, Sunday light Send the hour into the light Real ones don't fade away No, they just burn a different way [Verse 4] Make it special, say we should Happily do what no one could Great beginnings, better ends So come along and bring a friend Here we go now, Harlem boy Tell me what you can't afford Take the rifle, take the gun Oh, shoot me in the blazing sun
