Текст песни I Tried Fitting In (Chuck Brodsky) с переводом

I tried fitting in

I played in the band

I’d watch the conductor

I’d follow his hands

I marched to the drum

I joined the parade

You had to keep in step

But somewhere I strayed

I tried fitting in

I went to the school

I wanted to learn

I just wasn’t fooled

I already knew

What I‘d have to forget

If I wanted to earn

A certificate

I tried fitting in

It was no use

At the front of the train

I’d put the caboose

I’d have the cart

Pulling the horse

And in my heart

I felt no remorse

I tried fitting in

I toed the line

I bit my tongue

Slackened my spine

I was a miserable wretch

The hole was square

I goofed around

They threw me out of there

I couldn’t keep pace

I was a man out of time

I was a man out of place

Once the world was mine

Now it’s under corporate control

I’m just looking for the heart

I’m just looking for the soul

I tried fitting in

I gave it a shot

Tried to be someone else

Who I knew I was not

Like a foot in a glove

Or a hand in a shoe

Was too tight a squeeze

It was turning me blue

I’d go to bed

At a reasonable hour

By the crack of dawn

I’d have eaten and showered

Be getting on a bus

And then getting on a tram

I tried fitting in

But that’s not who I am

I couldn’t keep pace

I was a man out of time

I was a man out of place

Once the world was mine

Now it’s under corporate control

I’m just looking for the heart

I’m just looking for the soul
