He's a man in his glory a boy in his dreams
And he's living his life in between
Tomorrow will answer yesterday's dreams
While today he is living in between

Beware, oh brother, beware, don't you listen to the words
(The tender lies)
Beware, oh brother, beware, don't you listen to the words

He rejoices in wedlock with a lover unseen
And he's living his life in between
He thinks of the sorrow his conscience will bring
And he's living his life in between

Beware, oh brother, beware, don't you listen to the words
The tender lies
Beware, oh brother, beware, don't you listen to the words
...

He measures his wisdom from sorrow he leaves
He's living his life in between
The pathway to glory is a long road it seems
And he's living his life in between

Beware, oh brother, beware, don't you listen to the words
(The tender lies)
Beware, oh brother, beware, don't you listen to the words
