lyrics

You can see it now but it’s far too late
And history has thrown the dice
You threw away your values
And your conscience paid the price

You played the game we could say you won
Cos you made it to the top
But you got hooked on the drug of fame
And nothing would have made you stop

Now you think of how it could have been
And you wish you could go back
You lost yourself in the party machine
You followed someone else’s track

In the early days when you had a dream
You thought that you could change the world
You would speak with pride and passion
We could see your path unfold

Then the power men got hold of you
You became their chosen one
Your were dazzled by their promises
And your innocence was gone

You were groomed in presentation
You were polished like a gem
They said you had a gift with words
But was it you or them?

You’ve got regrets – it’s too late
Life is something you just can’t backdate

It seems as if you got caught up
On a rollercoaster ride
You lost your sense of right and wrong
You were driven by your pride

Many times we just shook our heads
When we saw you on TV
We didn’t recognise you
We all laughed “who is he?”

We watched you lose your principles
In the name of compromise
And the way you bent the truth at times
Was just like telling lies

You’ve got regrets – it’s too late
Life is something you just can’t backdate

Every crossroads that you came upon
You took the selfish road
But payback time was coming
For all the debts you owed

And in the end, they just blew you out
They’d no further use for you
You became the man of yesterday
And they moved on to someone new

Now you want to change the story
You want to go back to the start
You say you’d speak the truth, you wouldn’t hide
And you’d listen to your heart

It makes me smile to hear you talk
You always did that well
You’ve got the gift of spinning words
Maybe you can fool yourself

You’ve got regrets, it’s too late
The truth is something you can’t fabricate
And life is something you just can’t backdate
