Billy Joel "The Great Wall of China" paroles

The Great Wall of China

Advice is cheap you can take it from meIt's yours to keep 'cause opinions are freeNobody knows about the trouble I've seenNobody's perfect, mister, nobody's cleanIt cost too much and takes too long to find out too lateSome words are not heard 'til after they're spokenYour role was protective, your soul was too defectiveSome people just don't have a heart to be broken

We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of ChinaIf you'd only had a little more faith in meIn lieu of diamonds, gold and platinum reminders will still shine brightAll the king's men and all the king's horsesCan't put you together the way you used to beWe could have been standing on the Great Wall of China

You take a piece of whatever you touchToo many pieces means you're touching too muchYou never win if you can't play it straightYou only beat me if you get me to hateIt must be so lonely to think that you have onlySomebody else's life to live if they let youI ain't too selective, but it don't take no detectiveTo find out how fast your friends will forget you

We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of ChinaNow all you're going to be is historyHelp yourself, it's all you can eat at the Empire Diner tonightYou coulda had class, you coulda have been a contenderCharlie, you shoulda looked out for meYou could have been standing, standing on the Great Wall of China

This was not your calling, just look how far you've fallenI heard your story, man, you've got to be jokingKeep things in perspective, this is my true objectiveWhy tear this heart out if it's only been broken?We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of ChinaIf you'd only had a little more faith in meIn lieu of diamonds, gold and platinum reminders will still shine brightAll the king's men and all the king's horsesCan't put you together the way you used to beWe could have been standing, standing on the Great Wall of China
