(It's a curious feeling!)
|
|
It's a curious feeling to see the edge receding,
|
It seems the more I know, the more I don't know,
|
Does this ever end?
|
If you listened to fanatics of the left or right,
|
You'd think they'd solve it all,
|
But they don't convince me.
|
Some statesmen, gurus, men of science and of philosophy,
|
All have an answer but they won't agree.
|
So if anybody tells you stories
|
Of how they're gonna change your world
|
Be they the Aga Khan, the ex Shah of Iran,
|
Or the Man from U.N.C.L.E.,
|
Say I don't believe you cos I know we don't need you.
|
In the name of religion or of any politician,
|
I'm sure we've heard it all.
|
If races always ran to form they never would be run,
|
Where would be the fun?
|
And if ever a man could understand everything there was,
|
He'd have no reason to carry on.
|
So when anybody tells you stories
|
Of how they're gonna change your world,
|
Be they the Aga Khan, the ex Shah of Iran,
|
Or the Man from U.N.C.L.E.,
|
Say come with me then to the Garden of Eden.
|
Put back our bites from the apple of the Tree of Knowledge,
|
Be like the beasts again.
