there is someone who knows everything there is to know
there is someone who is too afraid to let it show
we live by consequences
we never seem to get it right
conflict of circumstances
and sometimes we may lose a fight

wouldn't you know
something is going wrong
wouldn't you know
something is really wrong
and you can't do a thing about it

no, no, no you have no authority
no, no, no I am who I want to be

there are those of us who just sit back and never try
there are those of us who just sit back and wonder why
we live by consequences
we never seem to get it right
conflict of circumstances
and sometimes we may lose a fight

wouldn't you know
something is going wrong
wouldn't you know
something is really wrong
and you can't do a thing about it

no, no, no you have no authority
no, no, no I am who I want to be
