The cycle of life is to see In all its simplicity But the way we live it to be very weird to me and I cry out
Pettiness like chatter It seems to the matter I my teeth, my senses chatter There's much makes me madder and I leap out
For big or little, great or It really matter at all The way we our feet, and hem and haw 'Cause everyone's afraid they'll or else be left out
right for me are strange to you Shouldnt a damn on what you do 'Cause whether or not you it through I you already knew that I'll keep you going on
And the War III And the world Will the same size in the news
From all seen of politics Its just a greasy big stick to run on tongues so slick To make you this is all there is you got, I'm afraid
How they con the middle man thinking he has got a hand To play in the of the promised land He himself to the destiny of man, get ridiculous
Cheap can hire someone To do his with a tommy gun While the points at anyone And says, "I, your country wants the done, go do it now, boy"
But the war is bad enough It can break you down no how tough But the tragedy of hoopla It you think you can't do enough for the Chinese symbols
And the other They feel the as we And I have But one country to for my life
Preacher stands in his shroud Saying, "God if you do it now" You come back the chips are down Youll find that they've all gone underground to for you
And the homosexual to preach He that he can preach to me The right way to go and raise a And I'm forced to at him He mean to say, You're
As the population is getting The poverty poor, the pregnant Are on the Pope to be inspired For new contraceptive attire saying, "It's cool now"
a ghost behind a one way mirror Listening tip-toed at the to hear Someone won't speak the year Then, they'll slip a out how they feel about pierced ear-lobes
But the made now For the counts Are a late We'll be out of by tomorrow
Her mother played on She said, "It was the holy to be" The boys had were evilry When it came time for matrimony she froze and died
Her at fourteen, very well known She thought all kicks came there prone But the fact not spoken at home her feeling like a chewed on bone and why, she wondered
And one chick who dug about liberal minded and of' spoke out How she was cool and No doubt with the up The lights turned out, you're
And a couple together for or six years A marriage license, they'd never near But social pressure and loss of job Got married and divorced in half a year, they couldn't cut it
all talked about And it's lived around But is right for me Could be perversity in any state law
I'm told the minstrel at one Was allowed to and make his rhymes To on the news of the times Saying, "What's in people's minds?", and he made for it
But today try on some street curb Singing the in everyday words The people pass by and laughing is Or else they'll hit you where it hurts or they'll keep their ears
One man said, "Boy, I dig your I want you to come play at my put your name in lights up above But just remember, I got a club to run, so don't you be too
It's not the who sell us out Its the censors who turn about All your life learned and vowels And say my mouth is much too to clearly speak to you
But try to hit a And if the hammer Then the words you use to describe bruise That's language
I hitch and sang the songs everybody knew and sang along To amuse myself I some songs Speaking what's right and wrong, and I'm a little different
So a record company, you well Wanted to if my song would sell I said, "Yes, I it very well If you don't, sir, you can go to help else change
I kept hope on and around Singing to my who dig that sound A few guys said, "Won't you to my town" I ask fair bread, put me down their Caddie's mortgaged
I made one deal like you and me This guy he'd be lots of use to me But when I found he's putting the to me I made it out on the street singing new folk songs
And if there's enough And the hill too rough What I wrote I someday play and make some tips for it
Don't, next, the next of the hulk
