[Verse 1]
If I had my time again
I would do it all the same
And not change a single thing
Even when I was to blame

For the heartache and the pain
That I caused throughout my years
How I learned to be a man
Through the laughter and the tears

[Chorus]
Situation no win
Rush for a change of atmosphere
I can't go on, so I give in
Gotta get myself right outta here

[Verse 2]
Now I'm fully grown
And I know where it's at
Somehow I stayed thin
While the other guys got fat

All the chances that I've blown
And the times that I've been down
I didn't get too high
Kept my feet on the ground

[Chorus]
Situation no win
Rush for a change of atmosphere
I can't go on, so I give in
Gotta get myself right outta here

[Interlude – Mick Jones singing, spoken vocals from Peter Sellers and Big Bank Hank]
Yes, yes, delightful, delightful

Rush for a change of atmosphere

Mmm, I wish I could sing like that...
Not everything's singing, you know
The only important thing these days is rhythm and melody

Rhythm

And melody

(A time to cry, a time to laugh)
(A time to cry, a time to laugh)
(A time to cry, a time to laugh)
(A time to cry, a time to laugh)
(A time to cry, a time to laugh)
(A time to cry, a time to laugh)
(A time to cry, a time to laugh)

[Verse 3]
And of all my friends
You've been the best to me
Soon will be the day
When I repay you handsomely

Broken hearts are hard to mend
I know, I've had my share
But life just carries on
Even when I'm not there

[Chorus]
Situation no win
Rush for a change of atmosphere
I can't go on, so I give in
Gotta get myself right outta here

Situation no win
Rush for a change of atmosphere
I can't go on, so I give in
Gotta get myself right outta here

[Outro]
Gotta get myself right
Gotta get myself right
Gotta get myself right
Outta here

Gotta get myself right
Gotta get myself right
Gotta get myself right
Outta here
