   Well a thing was said to me
  time's your enemy
  it may heal a wound, but it won't hide a scar
  and the only thing to do
  is to yourself be true
  'cause a head that's in the clouds won't see the stars
  
  When I was young I never walked away
  I'd nail my colours to the wall
  though black and white soon turned to shades of grey
  there is one thing that I really know for sure
  
  Nobody's gonna set me up
  nobody's gonna set me up
  
  There's a bitterness in you
  'cause all you ever do
  is to drag your spirit screaming to the floor
  but you gotta make your luck
  before your time is up
  and they take you in your box out through the door
  
  But I'm not saying I don't care at all
  I'd rescue you before you drown
  but if behind my back they start to talk
  I'm a tougher kind of man this time around
  
  Nobody's gonna set me up
  nobody's gonna set me up
  
  When you look back and see what you have done
  well was it really that much fun
  to laugh and kick the fallen ones
  
  Gonna grow another skin
  this one's getting thin
  I've been bitten twice but never lost my nerve
  well you gotta hide the hurt
  when people dish the dirt
  'cause if you don't try nothing that's what you deserve
  
  There are people with their eyes of green
  smiling when you take a fall
  maybe a friend or someone never seen
  but even with my back against the wall
  
  Nobody's gonna set me up
  nobody's gonna set me up
  
  People said to me
  time's your enemy
  it may heal a wound, but it won't hide a scar
  
  Nobody's gonna set me up
  nobody's gonna set me up
  
  And the only thing to do
  is to yourself be true
  'cause a head that's in the clouds won't see the stars
