Some people say life's like a merry-go-round
|
I think it's more like a ferris wheel
|
'Cause sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down
|
Sometimes you just don't know what to feel
|
|
And just when you think you've got the game figured out
|
And you say you've had enough
|
The mysterious mad man with his hand on the lever
|
Don't seem to never ever want to let you off
|
|
You can't get off this wheel of karma
|
You can't stop the hands of time
|
|
Now I have a friend, I might have a few
|
Sometimes I think they just don't care
|
But I think sometimes they think the same thing of me, yeah
|
You might say we've got a problem there
|
|
You know we all got this habit
|
We like to talk too much
|
And that always tends to slow you down
|
But we never change direction
|
We just keep going round and round and round and round
|
|
And let me off this wheel of karma
|
Let me stop the hands of time
|
|
Seems like I've been around so many places
|
And I must have learned a lot of things
|
And although I ain't yet come up with a so-called answer
|
At least I think I finally learned how to sing
|
|
And there's just a few things I ain't got sorted out
|
Sometimes they make my brain get sore
|
Like if kids were left to their own devices
|
Would they ever come up with a thing like war
|
|
Let us off this wheel of karma
|
Let us stop the hands of time
|
