I ain't no wide eyed rebel
Oh but i ain't no preacher's son
Now, i see the trouble
In all the loving that I've done

And the world
Ain't no harder than it's ever been
Looking for love in the lies
Of a lonely friend

And so much superstition
And so much worry in my heart
I need a new religion
It's time to make a brand new start

And the world
Ain't no easier than it's ever been
Looking for love in the lies
Of a lonely friend

Remember when we were in California
We were so much happier then
Now we're back in New York City
Looking for love in the lies
Of a lonely friend
And now the clocks are running
But no one knows where time goes
Another moon is stunning
There's only shadows that she shows

And the world
Ain't no easier than it's ever been
Looking for love in the lies
Of a lonely friend

I ain't no wide eyed rebel
Oh but i ain't no preacher's son
