:I had thought
:I had bought
:All the important things that I knew I'd been taught
:Till one day I found
:I'd misunderstood them all
:So I asked
:What was right
:'Cause it kept me awake the whole bloody night
:But they never ever did return the call.
 
::People on every side of me
::Taking my business so seriously
::In every way, I know they've got me bested
::Spending my time in the usual way
::While they mark down the exact time of day
::I'd like to laugh, but I'd probably be arrested.
 
:It was time
:To go back
:'Cause I had used up the supplies in my traveling pack
:And I didn't see any point in hanging on
:I was stopped
:At the gate
:By a lady who said it was much too late
:To ever read the writing on the lawn.
 
::People on every side of me
::Taking my business so seriously
::And all the time I keep on being re-tested
::Watching the world as it floats away
::While they've noted down the exact time of day
::They say my mental growth has been arrested.
