Lyrics Todd Rundgren

Todd Rundgren

Chain Letter

Don't take yourself too seriously

There are precious few things worth hating nowadays,

And none of them are me

I was only trying to say how things used to be

'til we grew up and we all went our separate ways

Looking for our own paths to immortality

This is how I thought I'd start my song

And it seems a little silly when I think of it

But now I'm so far along

And no one really wants to know that he's wrong

That his ears can't really hear or he's blind a bit

Or that he's really weak when he thinks that he is strong

Now I'm in the middle and I just don't know

If I'll make it any further if the words don't flow

When you live in silence any sound is dear

But for those who don't, take heart because the end is near

This is the ending of my song

It has made me blind and deaf and weak but most of all

It shows you that I'm wrong

For you see it's really twice this long

And if I should die tomorrow it will carry on
