I once thought everything was in a story That someone higher was writing down And if I could get high enough, I'd read the answer But I don't think that now I once thought time was like an ocean There was room enough to sail away into And some of the things that I've been saying lately, I'm sorry if they're scaring you Na, na, na Na, na, na La, la, la I would go outside, I would go out But it's a world war I don't respect your reasons I don't respect your time You think there is no author to blame, you'd be a fool in the courtyard Again, and again, and again I used to think that everything that happened was a story Someone was writing down and if I could just read it all I'd get to see it all together Just as clear as the morning sun You are a fool till the day you die Knew since I was born I'd be a singer They said, "you could be anything you can see Anything that you think of can be made to happen" But it just wasn't the good things If anyone here is uncertain Of what they're hearing from their mind I'm here to tell you that you're in good company We're going to tear this place apart
