The cycle of life is to see In all its fine But the way we it seems to be Something very to me and I cry out
Pettiness like chatter It seems to complicate the I grit my teeth, my senses There's nothing much makes me and I leap out
For big or little, great or It doesn't matter at all The way we our feet, and hem and haw 'Cause everyone's they'll fall or else be left out
right for me are strange to you Shouldnt make a damn on you do 'Cause whether or not you it through I thought you knew that I'll keep you going on
And the War III And the world make the same size Headlines in the
From all seen of politics Its a greasy big money stick to run on tongues so slick To make you think is all there is you got, I'm afraid
How they con the middle man Into he has got a hand To play in the future of the land He himself to the destiny of man, get ridiculous
gangster can hire someone To do his work with a gun While the president points at And says, "I, your country wants the done, go do it now, boy"
But the war itself is bad It can you down no matter how tough But the tragedy of hoopla It makes you think you can't do enough for the symbols
And the countries They feel the as we And I have But one to give for my life
Preacher stands in his holy Saying, "God if you do it now" You come back when the chips are Youll find that they've all gone underground to for you
And the twist to preach He that he can preach to me The right way to go and a family And I'm to look at him He mean to say, guessing
As the population is higher The poverty poor, the pregnant Are on the Pope to be inspired For some new contraceptive saying, "It's cool now"
a ghost behind a one way mirror Listening tip-toed at the door to Someone won't speak the year Then, they'll a note out how they feel about pierced ear-lobes
But the made now For the changing Are a late We'll be out of date by
Her played on virginity She said, "It was the place to be" The things boys had were When it time for matrimony she froze and died there
Her sister at fourteen, well known She thought all kicks came lying prone But the fundamental fact not spoken at Left her feeling like a chewed on and why, she wondered
And one chick who dug about liberal minded and of' spoke out How she was and understood No with the blankets up The lights out, you're condescending
And a couple together for or six years A marriage license, they'd never near But social and loss of job fear Got them married and divorced in half a year, they cut it
It's all about And then lived around But what is for me Could be in any state law book
I'm told the at one time Was allowed to and make his rhymes To comment on the news of the Saying, "What's in people's minds?", and he tips for it
But today try singing on some street the news in everyday words The people by and laughing is heard Or else they'll hit you where it hurts or they'll keep ears closed
One man said, "Boy, I dig stuff I want you to play at my club put your name in lights up above But just remember, I got a club to run, so you be too strong

I hitch and sang the songs That everybody and sang along To amuse myself I some songs about what's right and wrong, and I'm a little different
So a record company, you know Wanted to know if my song would I said, "Yes, I like it very If you don't, sir, you can go to help else change
I hope on and bumming around to my friends who dig that sound A few guys said, "Won't you to my town" I ask fair bread, they put me their Caddie's mortgaged
I made one deal like you and me This guy said be lots of use to me But when I he's putting the screws to me I made it out on the street singing new folk songs
And if there's time And the hill too rough What I wrote I might someday play and make some for it
Don't, next, the issue of the hulk
