lyrics

I woke up in the morning
(and I looked around)
I stumbled from my bed
(lying on the ground)
I wondered what I should do
(Who can help me now?)
I think I'll ask my dad
(I can't even hear)

The men, they were all sleeping
Like they always do
The women were all speaking
Like they always do

Why, Why
Why, Why even try?
It's a lie when you cry for passersby
Let me explain for they with the lame brain
The rain in Spain never made it to the main plain
I don't wanna, I do not want to
Crucify again the Son of God
It's a laugh, Ha!
I drink, you quaff, "Ah!"
Bloody knuckles for Parochial Southpaw

He who has no need
He is free indeed
Love casts out all fear
If you have ears to hear
And I do
I said, "I do"

Three legs in the evening
(Old man with his cane)
I think I'll go to bed
(Ain't so bad in there)
And dream about the hunger
(Can you spare a dime)
And eat without the bread
(I don't know what I need)

The cupboards are all empty
Like they were before
The speeches are all lengthy
And we learn nothing more

Why, Why
Why, Why even try?
It's a lie when you cry for passersby
Let me explain for they with the lame brain
The rain in Spain never made it to the main plain
I don't wanna, I do not want to
Crucify again the Son of God
It's a laugh, Ha!
I drink, you quaff, "Ah!"
Bloody knuckles for Parochial Southpaw

He who has no need
He is free indeed
Love casts out all fear
If you have ears to hear
And I do
I said, "I do"
