Verse

 i was glad to see you but you didn't believe me

you asked me something but i didn't hear it

my mind was somewhere else again

i still care a great deal my friend

Chorus

the sun was burning my back

the wind was chilling my face

we've all become hypocrites since then

the things that meant so much still do

Verse 2

I felt so lonesome, all of a sudden

i couldn't breathe, i couldn't talk to others

then i recalled a certain thing you said

and it really made me laugh, again

Chorus 2

the sun was burning my back

the wind was chilling my face

we've all become hypocrites since then

the things that meant so much still do

Verse 3

people still say things they don't believe in

and you could puke every time you hear it

imagine all those phony crooks we've met

our kids will one day meet with theirs

Chorus 3

the sun was burning my back

the wind was chilling my face

we've all become hypocrites since then

the things that meant so much still do

Verse 4

the river got all icy and frozen

you watch the things you gave your life to, broken

sometimes we're punched below-the-belt

so you stand and build it up again
