He Said (The Hippos)

When I was just a young boy I loved to play with my toys And sit around and watch TV Sometimes we'd go to the beach I loved to go to the beach Until an old man came to me I said hey mister, why do you look so blue He said it's nothing you just Look like someone I once new I said oh really as I looked into his eyes Right then and there I knew this man would tell no lies He said I am a man of glory, I've got a million stories If you would just listen to me I've sailed across this ocean, given so much devotion But just one thing has stayed with me, come here and see We'd find a park with flowers We'd sit and talk for hours He taught me ancient history He said I used to be a great man I traveled across this great land Until an old man came to me And said I am a man of glory, I've got a million stories If you would just listen to me I've been around the world Been with all kinds of girls But just one thing has stayed with me, come here and see But now I am much older My life has grown much colder I only care about one thing How can I make more money Life's empty without money And then a voice spoke out to me And said I am a man of glory, I've got a million stories If you would just listen to me I used to be a rich man Money can ruin a good man Just look what it has done to me No I'm, I'm not the same as I used to be
