Lyrics
Some of us are born to rule the world
To raise it in one afternoon
And some of us are born with fame in
our blood
Fed well from a silver spoon
And some of us wake up with tears in
out eyes
Grow thick skin before our time
Some of weep, some of laugh
Turn our hands to the ultimate crime
But there are two roads
Straight line or the long way around
We'll meet half way somewhere
Across the broken ground
Some of us took pleasure, some are
showered with gifts
Bouquets of blind admiration
And some of us wait for the gravy
train
And the stroke of some cheap
sensation
Some of us drift, some are lost at
sea
Ancient mariners in motion
With no time to sleep, no bed to rest
Navigate on a treacherous ocean
But there are two roads
Straight line or the long way around
We'll meet half way somewhere
Across the broken ground, yeh
Some of us fly by the seat of our
pants
We are masters of our own free will
Stick to the rules and
The good book says we are licensed to
love and to kill
And some people dream the impossible
dream
They imagine their just reward
Cry out for chaos, passionate love
Take only what we can afford
But there are two roads
Straight line or the long way around
We'll meet half way somewhere
Across the broken ground, yeh
