When you're looking back to your lifetime
The time you think it's going too fast
You see the people going down your street
They seem want you's on the past
You think what a crazy thing to see
That everybody goes its way

Everybody walks in the sunshine
Telling me he's busy with his time
And going to their work in the morning
And going back home in the evening

You see your school friend going to some school
As the bands play give me a call
They want me to tell them everything
About selling every bit I saw
And when I told them my story
About how I fought my way

He's walking in the sunshine
Telling me he's busy with his time
And going to their work in the morning
And going back home in the evening

And nothing that can make them feel low now
And nothing that can make their work slow now
Nothing you can say that will change their mind

Everything you tell them they like here
Everything you say they don't fight it
And nothing you can do that will change their mind

You see a school and you keep on and then they're gone
And your girlfriend with a gear
Now you didn't expect the things you see
They are regularly the good and feared
You think what a crazy thing to see
That everybody goes its way

Everybody walks in the sunshine
Everybody's busy with his time
And going to their work in the morning
And going back home in the evening
