What are they doing here? Something so familiar to my ears
Well, they move like Ancient science fiction on the vacuum screen And they sing of love and loneliness And different shades of green
Drownin' in a lake of tears Seems like they've been doing it for years Ringing in my ears
Bob ba da bop ba da ba da Bob ba da bop ba da ba da Bob ba da bop ba da ba da
Well, we listen on in silence, memorizing line and verse Though the poetry is awful and the imagery is worse Doesn't it seem absurd? Little children learning every single word
And they mimic words and phrases Of a hundred years ago And observe a moments silence For the guy who wrote, "Hey Joe"
Matthew said it best at Janes Though the maidens gone, her innocence remains We sing on in chains
Bob ba da bop ba da ba da Bob ba da bop ba da ba da Bob ba da bop ba da ba da
Bob ba da bop ba da ba da Bob ba da bop ba da ba da Bob ba da bop ba da ba da Bob ba da bop ba da ba da
Well, I'm laughing at the waitress And they're starving in the street And they're charging more for wonder And they're burning fields of wheat

Bob ba da bop ba da ba da Bob ba da bop ba da ba da Bob ba da bop ba da ba da
Bob ba da bop ba da ba da Bob ba da bop ba da ba da Bob ba da bop ba da ba da Bob ba da bop ba da ba da
