Smart Too Late --words and music by Michael Stanley We were a high wire act workin' without a net Too much full speed and not enough circumspect Then we broke up the band When we needed all hands on deck... We were late to the party tryin' to make up time Surprised that the world Had more than us on its' mind Got way too high, talk about your wasted time... (Chorus) Yeah everybody thought that things Were gonna change around here.. Everybody thought they'd see Another face in the mirror.. Shoulda campaigned with poetry And governed with prose.. Instead we just took the bait And got old too soon and smart too late... Well they sold us a war And then we sold a few of our own... Old boss new boss ain't much changed on the throne Like leaving all the warriors Limping back home alone... All the things that we said We're never gonna do we did... And when it came time for holding the line we slid Running out of time, who we tryin' to kid...
