"Oldest Trick In The Book" lyrics

"Oldest Trick In The Book"

I wonder where I'll be at the end of the world
I wonder how I'll get home
I wonder how it feels to be on top of the world
With all the highs and lows

I wonder where I'll be when the ceiling falls
I wonder if I'll be stoned
I wonder will they hear me past these four walls
And what you'll write on my headstone

Is it true, what doesn't kill you really makes you stronger?
Is it true what's good for you makes you live longer?
Who wants to live longer?

I'll change the world before I go
All I know
I'll change the world before I go
That's all I know

I wonder where I'll be at the end of the world
I wonder how I'll go
I wonder if there'll ever be an end to the war
And will my friends come home

I wonder if I'll ever be able to learn
All the things I'm taught
I wonder if they'll give me all the credit I've earned
It seems it's all I've got

'Cause if it's true that what doesn't kill you really makes you stronger
Then it's true what's good for you makes you live longer
Who wants to live longer?

I'll change the world before I go
All I know
I'll change the world before I go
That's all I know

You pick yourself up but you're still on the floor
You're feeling better but you can't find the cure
It's sad to say, but I'm pretty sure
The oldest trick in the book doesn't work anymore

All I know
I'll change the world before I go
All I know
Gonna change the world before I go
I'll change the world before I go (before I go)
All I know (I'll change the world)
Gonna change the world before I go
That's all I know
Yeah, that's all I know
