Billy Joel - The Great Wall of China слова песни
Advice is cheap you can take it from meIt`s yours to keep `cause opinions are freeNobody knows about the trouble I`ve seenNobody`s perfect, mister, nobody`s cleanIt costs too much and takes too long to find out too lateSome words are not heard `til after they`re spokenYour role was protective, your soul was too defectiveSome people just don`t have a heart to be brokenCHORUSWe could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of ChinaIf you`d only had a little more faith in meIn lieu of diamonds, gold and platinum reminders will still shine brightAll the king`s men and all the king`s horsesCan`t put you together the way you used to beWe could have been standing on the Great Wall of ChinaYou take a piece of whatever you touchToo many pieces means you`re touching too muchYou never win if you can`t play it straightYou only beat me if you get me to hateIt must be so lonely to think that you have onlySomebody else`s life to live if they let youI ain`t too selective, but it don`t take no detectiveTo find out how fast your friends will forget youWe could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of ChinaNow all you`re going to be is historyHelp yourself, it`s all you can eat at the Empire Diner tonightYou coulda had class, you coulda been a contenderCharlie, you shoulda looked out for meYou could have been standing, standing on the Great Wall of ChinaThis was not your calling, just look how far you`ve fallenI heard your story, man, you`ve got to be jokingKeep things in perspective, this is my true objectiveWhy tear this heart out if it`s only been broken?CHORUS
