Gov't Mule

Hello again - it's me, the fool on the hill
life here ain't so bad
my friends are tired - their lives are wasted
just like their moms and their dads
And they don't know what i am talking about
and they may never know
I'm just fourteen - but i know where i stand
behind these walls - life ain't so easy
but it's turned me into a man

Sometimes i don't know what i am talking about
and i may never know
Far away - the cool taste of reality
far away - perfect little family
far away - the little boy i used to be
Look at my eyes - maybe they'll show you the truth
the truth i cannot see
once in a while i catch a glimpse of it all
but it slips away from me
someday i'll know what's going on in my head
for now, i'll just stay here
Far away - the cool taste of reality
far away - perfect little family
far away - the little boy i used to be
far away
I hate it when they look right through you
it sends me into a rage
i know i ain't crazy - and i don't need your proof
i just need out of this cage
Hello again - it's me, the fool on the hill
life here ain't so bad
