Fall in love with a sweet young thing,
Big brown eyes, she had everything,
Well she broke my heart,
But she did me no permanent damage
Had a friend who was sinkin' low,
Takin' all kinds o' things just to get him goin'
Watched him fall apart,
But it did me no permanent damage...
Such a crazy world in which we live now,
Y' gotta understand you don't receive,
But you always have to give now,
If I could I'd turn it 'round,
So the little man gets to see the big man pay
Got a feelin' it won't be too long,
Till we're singin' a different song,
They're tryna grind us down but they're
Doin' no permanent damage
