Somebody said...Where's the music goin'

Somebody said...It's gone

Somebody said...With this bad wind a blowin'

Will the music keep a rolling on

I had to ask myself

WHy it's makin' me

A minstrel man from cradle to grave

Should there be somewhere else

It could be takin' me

As it rolls on over like a wave



Somebody said...We got to find the words

Got to, got to be an answer there

Somebody said that...You never get heard

'Cause nobody really cares

Do your feet just dance

Where the waves begin

Stop thinkin' as you're sinkin' below

Or do you take this chance to sail on the wind

When so many in the water chose to row



Some may curse the crippled

Some try to hide the hurt

Some they hate the hungry

But who's dying down there in the dirt



Somebody said...Has the man enlightened us

Somebody said...Who knows

And then the little boys said...Well I may be frightened

But the Emperor has got no clothes

As the passion dies

But the beat goes on

The conductor got us singing his song

He's been feedin' these lies

That we've been feasting upon

But now we've been at the banquet too long



Somebody said...Where are the dreamers

Somebody said...Dead

Somebody said...Here comes the holy rollers

Tryin' to sell us all the screamers instead

Since we were once deceived

When we received the call

Now the cynics are the prophets of the day

And now the weak ones grieve

As the strong ones fall

And the rest of us have nothing to say

Some suffer in silent sadness

Some come to worship pain

Some just welcome madness

But you can't come in from the rain
