If then I only knew what I now know, I'd said NO.

Around and around and down I go
 When will I stop when I'm in the ground I'll know
 It was never ours to begin with to hoard and withhold
 Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's it is owed
 Now within my own explosion I am ready to implode
 As I think of all the spending spent with not a rod dam thing to show
 Once you've bought it you're sold
 Getting it back will take years more than four score
 and cost more than seventy eleven fold
 Slow is the hole made in your soul
 there goes your whole glow
 Wages paid promptly with dues in delinquency still owed
 Cash hard and cold for hearts of solid gold
 Previously not presented to me it wasn't presently foretold
 Absent from my presence the telling of that tale went untold
 Trading dollars for cents makes no sense
 Making change sounds nonsensical insensitive and dense
 Like clockwork the cock on the fence twice crowed
 What a crock lo and behold the hands that hold control
 That control the hold will not let go
 Out of all the things I was shown that's the one thing I wasn't showed
 So unfolded barley by the bold
 bestowed upon me was this heavy load
 Now this is what I'll reap
 Because that is what I've sowed
 So will I grow old going down the road
 When going down this road grows old
 Change doesn't happen by chance
 Quickly our scruples do corrode
 Behold there goes our goings-on
 Gone and on with the show must go
 Our can's become our cant's
 And our regrets can't be consoled
 There's a beautiful pureness
 In this life I'll never get to know
  I've always known I'd never know
 Because I said yes when I
 should've said NO
 And as for my chances
 Much like my mind
 If I had half of either one of the two
 You can bet
 They've done been blowed
