i'm forced to admit
that i'm too weak to quit
and i don't have the courage to make it alone
i'm too weak to get through a day on my own

wasted once again and i think i've fallen
i tried to stand my ground but i'm fallin down
yes, i've tasted life again and i think i've fallen
ah tell me my old friend about fallin' down

pick me up, dust me off, but don't run me through it
cause i didn't mean to do it
again

tried to find my mind but my head is hollow
it's hard to speak your peace when nothin's there
so if i try to leave, please don't follow

cause i ain't really goin' anywhere

if you're lookin' for a platform
stand with me
stand with me
the true reformer is the new performer
bless you california
you're the only state for me

every little person with a little radio waitin for
somebody to tell 'em where to go
what you're singin's in the realm of worldly things and
when it sinks in do ya bring 'em into the fold?

tryin to find my mind but my head is hollow
it's hard to speak your peace when nothin' there
so if i try to leave, please don't follow
cause i ain't really goin' anywhere.
