The cycle of life is to see In all its simplicity But the way we it seems to be Something very to me and I cry out
Pettiness like chatter It seems to the matter I grit my teeth, my senses There's nothing much makes me and I leap out
For big or little, or small It really matter at all The way we our feet, and hem and haw 'Cause everyone's they'll fall or else be left out
What's right for me are to you Shouldnt a damn on what you do 'Cause whether or not you it through I thought you already knew that keep you going on
And the War III And the world Will make the size in the news
From all I've seen of Its just a big money stick Geared to run on so slick To make you this is all there is you got, I'm afraid
How they con the little man Into thinking he has got a To in the future of the promised land He owes to the destiny of man, get ridiculous
Cheap gangster can someone To do his with a tommy gun While the president at anyone And says, "I, your wants the killing done, go do it now, boy"
But the war itself is bad It can break you down no how tough But the tragedy of stuff It makes you think you can't do enough for the Chinese
And the other They feel the as we And I have But one to give for my life
Preacher in his holy shroud Saying, "God if you do it now" You come back when the are down Youll find they've all gone underground to pray for you
And the homosexual to preach He feels he can preach to me The way to go and raise a family And I'm forced to at him He mean to say, You're
As the population is getting The poor, the pregnant tired Are waiting on the Pope to be For some new contraceptive saying, "It's cool now"
a ghost behind a one way mirror Listening tip-toed at the to hear outside won't speak the year Then, they'll a note out how they feel about pierced ear-lobes
But the rules now For the counts Are a little We'll be out of date by
Her mother played on She said, "It was the holy to be" The things boys had were When it came for matrimony she froze and died there
Her sister at fourteen, well known She thought all kicks came lying there But the fact not spoken at home Left her feeling like a on bone and why, she wondered
And one who dug moving about Very minded and of' spoke out How she was and understood No doubt the blankets up The lights out, you're condescending
And a together for five or six years A marriage license, they'd been near But social pressure and loss of job Got them married and divorced in half a year, couldn't cut it

But today try on some street curb Singing the news in words The people by and laughing is heard Or else they'll hit you where it or they'll keep their ears closed
One man said, "Boy, I dig stuff I you to come play at my club I'll put your name in lights up But just remember, I got a to run, so don't you be too strong
