Many, too many have stood where I stand
Many more will stand here too
I think what I find strange is the way you built me up
Then knocked me down again
The part was fun but now it’s over
Why can’t I just leave the stage?
Maybe that’s because you securely locked me up
Oh, mama, please would you find the key?
Oh, pretty mama, please won’t you let me go free?
I thought I was lucky, I thought that I’d got it made
You said goodbye on a corner
That I thought led to the straight
You set me on a firmly laid and simple course
And then removed the road
Oh, mama, please help me find my way
Oh, pretty mama, please lead me through the next day
I thought I was lucky, oh, I thought that I’d got it made
