I'm just a junkyard now
|
This is my trash
|
They burnt me down somehow
|
Flicked me off like a cigarette ash
|
|
But time has come today; Time has come today
|
|
I've been a patron saint
|
I've had my mouth washed out
|
And I've been one big complaint
|
I turned myself into two separate gorillas?
|
|
But time has come today; Time has come to blow our old world away
|
|
Pulled in from abilene; found the world was sold
|
He paid in gold - but his hands were cold
|
But the man was sharp; man, this cat was cool
|
So we gave the jewel to a raving fool... YEAH!
|
|
They say I'm a big boy now
|
Come on and stand up straight
|
Lock up your girls and boys
|
Soon it will be too late
|
|
Time has come today time has come today
|
Time has come to blow out yesterday
|
Has come today time has come today
|
Time has come to blow our old world away
|
|
Cardboard people stand in a field made of grass.
|
Carved from mahogany and jade, they see you and all start to laugh.
|
The eyes that they live through will roll as they give you the task.
|
|
Steeped in a slumber, they tell you your number is one;
|
And the proper ladies blow smoke from their mouths like a gun.
|
They smile like the sun - say the race has begun, time to run... RUN!
|
|
Cardboard people tell you they'd love you to stay.
|
When the whores and sailors come it would be best to put lucky away.
|
You must wait for the sunset; your time hasn't come yet today.
|
|
As the sunset loves nimbus and the autumn light
|
We don't have to live for a fight
|
We can be one - it can be done!
|
|
I must leave here with the morning light
|
We don't have to live to be right
|
We can be one - this must be done!
|
|
And mommy and dad give a pat on the back but they're thinking:
|
"If you leave here we'll hate you
|
If you leave here we'll argue
|
If you leave here we'll hate you
|
We love you but we'll hate you if you leave"
|
|
Then you're hunkerin' down in mid-town with your brothers
|
And soon they'll all looking your way
|
We can survive - Just stay alive
|
|
And you think it's a crime but you know that it's time to be leaving
|
"If you leave here we'll hate you
|
If you leave here we'll argue
|
If you leave here we'll hate you
|
We love you but we'll hate you if you leave"
|
|
I'm just an old man now
|
I EAT YOUR TRASH
|
I'll make it back somehow
|
Take off at long last YEAH!
|
|
Time has come today
|
Time has come to blow our old world away
|
Time has come today
|
Time has come to blow our old world away
|
|
Let's blow our old world away
|
