Some wise men say
the world is an illusion whose trappings we just cannot overcome
Some wise men say
that God’s no longer with us and love is all that’s going to save us now
Some wise men say
that we are all born wicked and should repent before the Kingdom comes
Some wise men say
that we should heed the smartest to give us guidance how to live our lives
Some wise men say
we should be meek and listen, and walk what mores commend as a good path
Some wise men say
we only have a few years to make our mark before our time runs out
Some wise men say
that luck is what we make it, while others swear that fate decides our lot
Some wise men say
it’s better to be different, while others wish that we were all alike
Enough of wise men telling me what’s better, I’m dizzy from this endless runaround
If y’all deciding what should be my purpose, why do I bother lingering about?
