Getting Closer lyrics

I went searching for the truthBut in my innocence I found
All the con men and their acrobatsWho stomped me in the ground
If I count up their percentagesI know they re getting rich
But they haven t taken everythingThose paybacks are a bitch
Though I ve lost quite a lotI am still in controlThey can keep what they ve got
But they can t have my soulAnd if I don t have this all worked out
Still I m getting closer, getting closerI still have far to go no doubt
But I m getting closer, getting closerWhat was ripped off by professionals
Is not all that it seemsWhile I must live up to contracts
I did not give up my dreamsIf I see it as experienceIt hasn t gone to waste
Lately all the missing piecesHave been falling into place
And if I could go back and start over somehowI would not change that much
Knowing what I know nowThought there have been sinsI will regret
Still I m getting close, getting closerI don t have all the answers yet
But I m getting closer, getting closerI m a mark for every shyster
From Topanga to BerlinAnd I should have learned to kick them out
As soon as they crawled inSo to every bank in Switzerland
That stores my stolen youthI m alright because despite the laws
You cannot hide the truthAnd although you will sayI am still too naive
Well, I have not lost faithIn the things I believe
And if I don t have this all worked outStill I m getting closer, getting closer
I still have far to go no doubtBut I m still getting closer, getting closer
