I have a wisdom tooth inside my crowded face I have a friend who is a born-again, found his savior´s grace I was born before my father and my children before me
We are born and born again like the waves of the sea
That´s the way it´s always been And that´s how I want it to be That´s the way it´s always been And that´s how I want it to be
Nothing but good news There is a frog in South America whose venom is a cure For all the suffering that mankind must endure More powerful than morphine and soothing as the rain A frog in South America has the antidote for pain
That´s the way it´s always been And that´s the way I like it
Some people never say no Some people never complain Some folks have no idea And others will never explain
That´s the way it´s always been and that´s the way I like it And that´s how I want it to be That´s the way it´s always been and that´s the way I like it And that´s how I want it to be
If I could play all the memories in the neck of my guitar I would write a song called "Señorita with a Necklace of Tears" And every tear a sin I´d committed all these many years That´s who I was, that´s the way it´s always been
Some people always want more, some people are what they lack Some folks open the door, walk away, and never look back I don´t want to be a judge and I don´t want to be a jury I know who I am, Lord knows who I will be
That´s the way it´s always been and that´s the way I like it And that´s how I want it to be That´s the way it´s always been and that´s the way I like it And that´s how I want it to be
