Opus 2, No. 3 Too Late,

(Roy Hardinge, copyright 2018) 

           

Intro:

You can sense that something’s wrong

You’ve been dreamin for too long…

 

Chorus:    Toooooo late!  Toooooo late!

 

Livin like there,        won’t be another day

Livin like that,           can take your breath away

Waking one day,      to face reality

Time to pay up,        there’s no more livin free!

 

(1st tweener solo)

 

Workin so hard,       to be a big success

Workin so hard,       you made your life a mess

Hopin that soon,     there’ll be a better way

Wake up to find,      you worked your life away!

 

Chorus:    Toooooo late!  Toooooo late!

 

Man on the street, he got no place to go

Walkin the street,   he never been so low

Wherever he look,  all of the signs say, “NO”

Out of the hole,       will take a miracle!

 

(2nd tweener solo)

 

Tryin to not,              be too political

Difficult not,              to be too critical

Chaotic storm,          causing divisiveness

Promise of more,     is now becoming less!

 

Bridge:        Don’t give up! Find a way. You’ve been dreamin for too long…

 

Chorus:    Toooooo late!  Toooooo late!

 

Usin it up,                   usin it everyday

usin it up,                             just got some yesterday

usin it up,                             usin it everyday

Usin it up,                   no way to break away!

 

Solo

 

Chorus:    Toooooo late!  Toooooo late!

 

Pretending to be,              someone you couldn’t be

Voice in your head,           sounds like apology

In trouble again,                looking for alibi

Where are you now,        BIG TOUGH GUY?
