And I haven't really got too far
I had a little job until Friday
But I lost it 'cause I had no car
Well I know it's only temporary
I've got a hundred talents and one
But I'm hangin' out on fifth and main street
Checkin' for change in the telephone
Momma said that changin' woudn't be easy
She didn't lie
If I'm ever gonna know the difference
I've got to try, yeah
It's now or never
I'm survivin' on day-old doughnuts
And some other things that just won't do
And the policeman by the news stand sayin, "Hey!
Look what it's doin' to you"
Well I'm lookin' for sanctuary
And there's not another moment to lose
When you stand on the bottom and stare at the top
You know you've got to make a change or two
Momma said that changin' woudn't be easy
She didn't lie
If I'm ever gonna know the difference
I've got to try, yeah
It's now or never
