Well those who know don't say And those who say don't know You can travel only so far Till there's nowhere left to go When the world's a race track Yeah and you're a snail Did love walk by and leave you Weak and pale?
Wiser men than you and I have failed So what if the one who stands out Is the one who gets nailed? Wiser men than you and I have failed
Some folks wish they could live in some kingdom of truth They're watching time with the saints and sinners And the saddhus Here in a world of bright promises all come and gone all come and gone It's better to light one candle before your day is done
Fools are all ears, but hear nothing that's being said Man bites dogma and the battles rage inside his head The fearful unite and try to own your world Oh it's true, but love and you don't care a lick about what they do
Wiser men than you and I have failed So what if the one who stands out Is the one who gets nailed? Wiser men than you and I have failed.
