if i could have been true because i knew it would be
understood
if i would have had an attitude to what's the matter that
would be good
if i could have been radical and not fanatical to the
bone

i'm no one's own - alone

if i had a heart i would have a heartache
if i had a soul it was cold
if i had the guts i'd become your murderer

but no one's own - alone

if i was a pioneer i would rely on here and now
if i could have been ecstatical and not dramatical
somehow
now i'm paying my dues and staying amused while singing
the blues to the bone

but no one's own - alone

if i had a heart i would have a heartache
if i had a soul it was cold
if i had the guts i'd become your murderer

but no one's own - alone
