you won't know where you stand

i wanna walk with you in someone's shoes, from somebody else's point of view, it looks like i'm changing, i wanna be a star without the scars, we'd be running, running, running, with the same old crowd, and i'd be myself, and i can't begin to tell you, he said if there's money on your mind, and the drugs don't work, as you'll be lying on your own, you won't know where you stand, i'm a selfish man in a selfish world, there's a road we choose and a friend we lose, it looks like i'm changing, been told to sit down, when i should stand up, would it mean that much just to hear me say, that i've been myself?, and what of yourself?, and i can't begin to tell you, he said if there's money on your mind, and the drugs don't work, as you'll be lying on your own, you won't know where you stand, and i can't begin to tell you, he said if there's money on your mind, and the drugs don't work, as you'll be lying on your own, you won't know where you stand
