Artiste : Billy Joel
Titre : The Great Wall Of China
Advice is cheap you can take it from me
It´s yours to keep ´cause opinions are free
Nobody knows about the trouble I´ve seen
Nobody´s perfect, mister, nobody´s clean
It costs too much and takes too long to find out too late

Some words are not heard ´til after they´re spoken
Your role was protective, your soul was too defective
Some people just don´t have a heart to be broken

We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China
If you´d only had a little more faith in me
In lieu of diamonds, gold and platinum reminders will still shine bright
All the king´s men and all the king´s horses
Can´t put you together the way you used to be
We could have been standing on the Great Wall of China

You take a piece of whatever you touch
Too many pieces means you´re touching too much

You never win if you can´t play it straight
You only beat me if you get me to hate
It must be so lonely to think that you have only
Somebody else´s life to live if they let you
I ain´t too selective, but it don´t take no detective
To find out how fast your friends will forget you

We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China
Now all you´re going to be is history
Help yourself, it´s all you can eat at the Empire Diner tonight
You coulda had class, you coulda been a contender
Charlie, you shoulda looked out for me
You could have been standing, standing on the Great Wall of China

This was not your calling, just look how far you´ve fallen
I heard your story, man, you´ve got to be joking
Keep things in perspective, this is my true objective
Why tear this heart out if it´s only been broken?

We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China
If you´d only had a little more faith in me
In lieu of diamonds, gold and platinum reminders will still shine bright
All the king´s men and all the king´s horses
Can´t put you together the way you used to be
We could have been standing on the Great Wall of China
