- Borrowed Time LyricsI was so cool back in sixty-five
I had it made 'cause I understood
What to do to survive
I had my car and I made the scene
Didn't give a damn about no gasoline
They can go to hell
My friend we never thought about the world
And its realities
The promised land was ours
We were the Great Society
I'm so confused by the things I read
I need the truth
But the truth is I don't know what to believe
the left says yes and the right says no
I'm in between and the more I learn
Well, the less I know
I got to make a show
Livin' high, livin' fine
Livin' high on borrowed time
Faith be with me now
I'm just a dreamer in a dreamland
Faith be with me now
I'm just a dreamer in a
'Cause we're
Livin' high, livin' fine
Livin' high on borrowed time
I had it made 'cause I understood
What to do to survive
I had my car and I made the scene
Didn't give a damn about no gasoline
They can go to hell
My friend we never thought about the world
And its realities
The promised land was ours
We were the Great Society
I'm so confused by the things I read
I need the truth
But the truth is I don't know what to believe
I'm in between and the more I learn
Well, the less I know
I got to make a show
Livin' high, livin' fine
Livin' high on borrowed time
Faith be with me now
I'm just a dreamer in a dreamland
Faith be with me now
I'm just a dreamer in a
'Cause we're
Livin' high, livin' fine
Livin' high on borrowed time
