I never knew what a m an was supposed to be
I never wanted the resp onsibility
I still remember what they t ried to make of me
They used to wonder what they c ouldn't get through to me
'Cauce a ll that I had as this m usic
A-co ming to m e
And all that I had was this rh ythm
A-r unning through m e.
I took a tip from the m an in the ministry
H e said "My son better w ork in the factory"
W ell there were days I can t ell you quite honestly
I saw myself winding up in the military
So l ucky to have all this m usic
A-c oming to m e
I'm lucky to have all this r hythm
A-r unning through m e
I'm watching the movie go d own
Arou nd about m e
I'm w atching the merry-go-r ound
Go d own about m e.
I said "L overs you'r e needed i n the g arden
'Cauce th ere's a lot of crazy people
Who've forg otten wh ere their he art is
And they d on't give a d amn
About h urting those fl owers and those t rees. "

S ometimes I wonder where my l ife is taking me
Sometimes I wonder what they a ll expect of me
Well there were days I can t ell you quite honestly
I saw myself winding u p in the monastery
'Cauce a ll that I have is this m usic

Go d own about m e.
I said "Lover s you' re ne eded in the garden
'Cauce there's a l ot of crazy people
Who've fo rgotten wher e their heart is
And they d on't give a d amn
