If what you believe in, is so sacred That you can not love me anymore Then I'm sorry, that your wisdom Won't prepare you for what's in store Because this bubble, that you call home Will when the winds of change pick-up Burst with a vengeance, and a fury And disarray your every stone You've got to tolerate And not just annihilate Facts of life and facts of fate And I say this not from hate; That your hour now is late So shape up for you own sake! That your hour now is late So shape up for you own sake! You own sake! Your ideals, I find amusing And on most I can agree In fact we are closer to each other But eye to eye we can not see And I'm not perfect, I admit it I can admit to being wrong But as a friend, not as a brother To you I dedicate this song You've got to tolerate And not just annihilate Facts of life and facts of fate I say this not from hate; That your hour now is late So shape up for your own sake! That your hour now is late So shape up for your own sake! Your own sake!
