Wildflowers grow everywhere, vibrations flow,  
Things will have to change  
Strange new ideas fill the air,  
Some people leave, others grieve, some were bare,  
But things will change  
Old concepts go, new ones grow,  
All at once the world begins to love again

So little time  
Try to understand that I’m  
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game  
I try to stay awake and remember my name  
But everybody’s changing and I don’t feel the same

You’re gone from here  
Soon you will disappear  
Fading into beautiful light  
'Cause everybody’s changing  
And I don’t feel right

No time for a summer friend  
No time for the love you send  
Seasons change and so did I  
You need not wonder why  
You need not wonder why  
There’s no time left for you  
No time left for you

I’m living on the run like an escapee  
No time to sit and wait, another sycamore tree 'cause  
We got no, we got no time  
No time to just sit back  
Got to face reality  
When the wheels roll out  
that’s where we got to be  
So we got no, we got no time

The time has come  
To say fair’s fair  
To pay the rent  
To pay our share

The time has come  
A fact’s a fact  
It belongs to them  
Let’s give it back

“The time has come,”  
the walrus said,  
“to talk of many things:  
of shoes, of ships, of sealing wax,  
of cabbages and kings,  
and why the sea is boiling hot,  
and whether pigs have wings.”

I am he as you are he as you are me  
And we are all together.  
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.  
I’m crying.

Sitting on a cornflake waiting for the van to come.  
Corporation t-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday.  
Man, you been a naughty boy. You let your face grow long.  
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen,  
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob.

Goo goo ga joob, Mrs. Robinson,  
Jesus loves you more than you will know.  
God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson.  
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,  
Hey, hey, hey

The moment I wake up  
Before I put on my makeup  
I say a little prayer for you

Caught up against the wall again  
Tied and chained to the ball again  
Never cease to amaze in minds  
So I just sleep sleep sleep please don’t  
Wake me till the morning after

Cut and bruised by the fall again  
Lick my wounds like a dog again  
Is that a light at the end of the tunnel  
That I see I see please let it be but don’t  
Wake me till the morning after

Yea! I’ve been broke as long as I remember  
Get a little money and I gotta run and spend ‘er  
When I try to save it, pretty woman come and take it  
Sayin’ maybe things’ll get a little better, in the mornin’  
Maybe things’ll get a little better.

Work your fingers to the bone, whattya get?  
Whoa-ho! Boney fingers, boney fingers.

I don’t want to drink my whisky, like you do.  
I don’t need to spend my money, but still do  
Don’t stop now, come on.  
Another drop now, come on.  
I wanna lot now, so come on!

That’s why, that’s why I said Mama we’re all crazy now!  
I said Mama we’re all crazy now!  
I said Mama we’re all crazy now!

And you told me fool fire water won’t hurt me.  
And you tease me and all my ladies desert me  
Don’t stop now, come on.  
Another drop now, come on.  
I wanna lot now, so come on!

I said Mama we’re all crazy now!

Ran across the country fields, in all terrain,  
They had guns and dogs and everything.  
Swam a river trying to lose my trail,  
But they caught me, under the bridge. Oh yeah!

The sky is burning. I believe my soul’s on fire.  
You are, I’m learning, the key to my desire.

Let’s burn down the cornfield  
Let’s burn down the cornfield  
And we can listen to it burn  
You hide behind the oak tree  
You hide behind the oak tree  
Stay out of danger ‘till I return  
Oh, it’s so good  
On a cold night  
To have a fire  
Burnin’ warm and bright
