Well, I've been hanging down-side up Feeling really banged up Wishing everybody would shut up In the village of the sun Well, it?s more than just a little bit loud But I'll be more than just a little proud To think that the opinions of rocks and of clouds Would even give us recognition Oh, I echo, it decays I hear a sound, it is delayed And I know that help is on the way To the village of the sun To the powers that be To the powers that be To an hour to be Is it the intention of that child To be a bastard in the wild Eventually move to his inventions Like the invention of a cannon Of course a cannon makes a ruckus Or like the lady in that circus Oh, we could try and maybe fly us Right out the village of the sun To the powers that be To the powers that be To an hour to be But maybe I've said enough And I wasn?t trying to be all funny And I wasn?t trying to be all tough I?m almost done Doesn't matter what I say Or for that matter what sayeth thee And ain't that the way In the village of the sun To the powers that be To the powers that be To an hour to be To an hour to be
