Текст песни When God Forgets My Name - Rick Springfield

Yeah, I constantly wake up feeling somehow, just the same as I did
And I'm always looking for someone else to blame, God forbid
Yeah, nothing changes, but somehow it never stays the same
And I feel like the unpopular kid in a high school kickball game

Yeah, I know there can be no fire without a flame
As I looked for the reason I've become what I became
When inside I know exactly the one who's to blame
The insecure kid with regrets

When God forgets my name (I will not let you sink and drown)
And I have to bear the pain (we are children as London Bridge falls down)
Am I supposed to play this game? (We are one, and I will not back down)
When God forgets my name

Years passed so fast, I wasn't ready to be a man, but I was
And I went without a vision, without a master plan
Into the jaws of my future like an unskilled artisan
Looking constantly behind me for the childhood bogeyman

My feet flying faster, but I just never outran
The dream that had ended long before it began
And I realize my life is just a flash in the pan
I'm alone when the sun finally sets

When God forgets my name (I will not let you sink and drown)
And I have to bear the pain (we are children as London Bridge falls down)
Am I supposed to play this game? (We are one, and I will not back down)
When God forgets my name

I longed to be someone, the leader of the band for you
And nothing ever turned out exactly like I'd planned, so true
The ground trembled when I finally made my stand
But I was lost in the smoke and cigarettes

When God forgets my name (I will not let you sink and drown)
And I have to bear the pain (we are children as London Bridge falls down)
Am I supposed to play this game? (We are one, and I will not back down)
When God forgets my name

When God forgets my name (I will not let you sink and drown)
Nothing remains the same (we are children as London Bridge falls down)
All of my prayers in vain (we are one, and I will not back down)
When God forgets my name
