You push the pedal but the thing won't go You try to learn it but you just don't know
Who's holding bullets for your twisted gun? You've spun it so that I may be the one
And what will your wounded soul just spell? He's playing dead among the things that he will never tell
When will your wounded soul just see That nothing here grows out of secrecy?
You're never gonna be rich How you ever gonna know?
If you never open your eyelids Tell me how you're gonna find gold
You're telling me you've never been kissed Maybe that's the way it goes
If you never learn to take nothing How you gonna learn to let go?
You're moving on or are you running scared? It won't be long before the game gets fair
So you sit in silence and you plead your case You call it wisdom but they're just mistakes
And they'll never need you back in Oregon Can't build no story on the same old song
And giving up is such a bitter taste I see the sour growing on your face
You say you're never gonna be rich How you ever gonna know?
If you never open your eyelids Tell me how you're gonna find gold
You're telling me you've never been kissed Maybe that's the way it goes
If you never learn to take nothing How you gonna learn to let go?
Ohh oh-oh-oh
Ohh oh-oh-oh
Ohh oh-oh-oh
Ohh oh-oh-oh
Ohh oh-oh-oh
You say you're never gonna be rich
How you ever gonna know
If you never open your eyelids
Tell me how you gonna find gold
