1. It takes a lot to get to the top
And a little just to fall off quick
And I think I've seen you here before
Sometimes you fly so high
So fast it makes you sick
You won the battle lost the war
X: But I don't mind if you say
Every time you talk to me
Every time we talk
R: We came, we saw
We conquered and crumbled
In our own true way
We loved, we fought
We rocked and we tumbled
In our own true way
2. Well I believe in brotherhood
And the good of all mankind
Though I admit it's hard to find
But if you want to talk just come and knock
It don't matter what the time
Solitude is no friend of mine
X: And I don't mind if you say...
R: We came, we saw...
3. I don't mind
It's hard to be from a rock in the sea
Livin' in a big steel town
Finding unfamiliar faces all around
You heard 'em tell stupid jokes
You heard 'em laugh everytime you spoke
But you don't let nobody put you down
X: But I don't mind if you say...
R: We came, we saw...
In our own true way...
And I don't mind...
If you say...
