People say I’m crazy
Doing what I’m doing
Well, they give me all kinds of warnings
To save me from ruin
When I say that I’m okay,
well they look at me kinda strange
“Surely, you’re not happy now,
you no longer play the game“
People say I’m lazy
Dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice
Designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I’m doing fine
watching shadows on the wall
“Don’t you miss the big time boy,
you’re no longer on the ball?”
I’m just sitting here
watching the wheels
go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the
merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
Ah, people asking questions
Lost in confusion
Well, I tell them there’s no problem
Only solutions
Well, they shake their heads
and they look at me
as if I’ve lost my mind
I tell them there’s no hurry,
I’m just sitting here doing time
I’m just sitting here
watching the wheels go
round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the
merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
Can’t keep my mind from the circling sky
Crooked wheels keep turning –
Children, are you learning?
Teach the children quietly
For some day sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still
You don’t mean nothing if you don’t do nothing
You’re just waiting at the bottom of the hill
You don’t mean nothing if you don’t do nothing
You’re just standing still
Tongue-tied and twisted,
just an earth-bound misfit, I
We all make the world go ’round
Together, all of us
We all make the world go ’round
And ’round and ’round
