Well, the day dawned and dried the grass on the ground 

Someone up and died without a sound 

And though we looked for you, well, you couldn't be found 

You were already on your way, dear 

And I saw them call as you walked down the street 

But tall through it all, you'd admit no defeat 

Despite the grief that you get from everyone you meet 

But open up and let things change, dear 

We don't ask for medals, we don't ask for praise 

We work hard instead, and then we walk away 

But when the question still pends at the end of every day 

Oh, open up to what it's saying 

So the weight of the world, it wn't get you down 

You make what you wear and you don't wait around 

You give 'em what they want (or as much as you can) 

Like you've done all along, and you'll do again 

But who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? 

So the weight of your will will stave off decline 

And you won't stop that war, but that don't stop you trying 

You say all the words that move all our friends 

And you work 'til the clock has gone 'round again 

But who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? 

And so goes the most of our freedom of speech: We live for the city, we work for the beach 

And when the weekend seems to be just out of reach 

Just make the most of what you're paid, dear 

Your love's a ghost, and that's why we're delayed here
