Hit Parade

Then I was a dreamer
Then I was a star
Then I was a hero
Then I wrecked some cars
Then I was a brother
Then I was a son
Then I was a mother
Then I played the drums
Used to be I used to see love in spades
Used to be I used to dream unrestrained
Used to be my life was a hit parade
Used to be I used to breathe in the days
Used to be a fighter
Used to be a cop
Then I was a writer
Then I learned to walk
Used to be I used to see love in spades
Used to be I used to dream un-detained
Used to be my life was a hit parade
Used to be I used to breathe in the days
Then I was a singer
Then I was a saint
Then I was a winner
Then I learned to hate
Then I was a grown up
Then I went to war
Learned to follow orders
But I’m not quite sure what for
Used to be I used to see love in spades
Used to be I used to dream unrestrained
Used to be my life was a hit parade
Used to be I used to breathe in the days
