lyrics

I can stand on the shoulders of giants
Make myself reliant on making people defiant
But that’s the way the world came
Packed with rebels and heretics it’s all the same
So you can keep on running your charade
While I keep on runnin’ and gunnin’ in my parade
Doesn’t have to make you feel good
Just doesn’t have to wreck everyone else’s mood

‘Cause I had things to do that never got done
It doesn’t matter now if I’m having fun
Oh the trees don’t lie, they don’t steal or cheat
But a tree can’t change the world,
That’s how we got them beat
‘Cause I came here to talk
And I spent twice as much time listening, yeah

And when does love
Begin to wash away the things that we all fear?
And what does it matter
Now that all I have is this buzzing in my ear?
Oh ‘cause I came here to talk
And I spent twice as much time listening, yeah

When I’m ready I’ll attack the words,
Give it everything I’ve got
But what’s left is fool’s gold
There’s more that it’s not
It ain’t nothing but a pretty colour
And even that could be fuller
I came out as a caterpillar,
Went in as a Rockefeller

But I had things to do that never got done
It doesn’t matter now if I’m having fun
Oh the trees don’t lie, they don’t steal or cheat
But a tree can’t change the world,
That’s how we got them beat
‘Cause I came here to talk
And I spent twice as much time listening, yeah

And when does love
Begin to wash away the things that we all fear?
And what does it matter
Now that all I have is this buzzing in my ear?
Oh ‘cause I came here to talk
And I spent twice as much time listening, yeah

Oh ‘cause I came here to talk
And I spent twice as much time listening, yeah

And when does love
Begin to wash away the things that we all fear?
And what does it matter
Now that all I have is this buzzing in my ear?
Oh ‘cause I came here to talk
And I spent twice as much time listening

These oblong thoughts come easily
Stretching my field of view
What’s hard is when they mean nothing
Or something I already knew
