Watching the world go round,
Hoping I will stay in bounds.
Catching a glimpse of the sun,
Everybody’s on the run.
And I wish I knew the rules,
Then I’d understand.
Keep on workin’ like a fool,
Tryin’ to make my stand.
The news today was bleak,
There’s nothin’ under our feet.
The grass is bluer today,
So, I’m gonna stay away
And I wish I knew the rules,
Then I’d understand.
Will I find all the clues
Playin’ in my band.
And I wish I
knew the rules,
Then I’d understand.
Keep on workin’ like a fool,
Tryin’ to make my stand.
Listen to all those lies –
The promise of paradise.
There’s a stranger in me
To make my soul agree.
