The Answer - The Guess Who

It’s no good anymore

When your hands are tied

Cause your friends found you out

When you broke down and cried

and the bright colored balls

That you held inside

Weren’t the answer

No, no, no

Not the answer

It’s no good anymore

When you know all the rules

Cause your friends pushed you out

And they all look like fools

And the stories that you sang

From the inside room

Weren’t the answer

No, no, no

Not the answer

I’d like to help you but you’re past that

I’d like to help you but it’s too late

I’d like to look around the corner just to find what I could see

It’s no good anymore

To abide by the rules

Cause you’re graduating soon

From the loser’s school

And the country tavern lady

In the house on the hill

Can’t be the answer

No, no, no

She’s not the answer

I’d like to help you but you’re past that

I’d like to help you but it’s too late

I’d like to look around the corner just to find what I could see

Like to help you

But you’re too far gone

I’d like to help you out

But it’s too late now
