And we laughed, at the world. They can have their diamonds, And we'll have our pearls

I wish I had somebody to rock me to sleep.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a spy detective or a rock star.

I am doomed or fortunate to stick to what I do best.

I have never made a cent off a record in my life. I have never recouped enough, and I never sold enough.

And we laughed, at the world. They can have their diamonds, And we'll have our pearls

I started playing the acoustic guitar for more singer-songwriter type stuff. I bet if I would have gotten more approval for my "rock playing", I might be a world class shredder.
