Billy Joel - Getting Closer (Remastered)

I went searching for the truthBut in my innocence I foundAll the con men and their acrobatsWho stomped me in the groundIf I count up their percentagesI know they're getting richBut they haven't taken everythingThose paybacks are a b***hThough I've lost quite a lotI am still in controlThey can keep what they've gotBut they can't have my soulAnd if I don't have this all worked outStill I'm getting closerGetting closerI still have far to go no doubtBut I'm getting closerGetting closerWhat was ripped off by professionalsIs not all that it seemsWhile I must live up to contractsI did not give up my dreamsIf I see it as experienceIt hasn't gone to wasteLately all the missing piecesHave been falling into placeAnd if I could go backAnd start over somehowI would not change that muchKnowing what I know nowThought there have been sinsI will regretStill I'm getting closeGetting closerI don't have all the answers yetBut I'm getting closerGetting closerI'm a mark for every shysterFrom Topanga to BerlinAnd I should have learnedTo kick them outAs soon as they crawled inSo to every bank in SwitzerlandThat stores my stolen youthI'm alright because despite the lawsYou cannot hide the truthAnd although you will sayI am still too naiveBut I have not lost faithIn the things I believeAnd if I don't have a this all worked outStill I'm getting closerGetting closerI still have far to go no doubtBut I'm still getting closerGetting closer
