The Great Wall Of China (Live 2006 At Madison Square Garden, New York, Ny) - Billy Joel

作词：Billy Joel

作曲：Billy Joel

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 cost 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

have 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

Standing on the

Great Wall of China
