Well I tried to save the world, but we ran out of words to say; So instead I'll write this song, with a guitar full of chords to play; Well I really didn't write them anyway.
Well I tried to build a boat, so I could sail myself away; But I ran out of wood, and left standing on the harbor in the rain; Well I'd only get seasick anyway; Yeah I'd only get seasick anyway.
CHORUS: Who can it be? Knockin' on my door; I hope it ain't the man; Comin' to start a war, against me...
So then I bought a car, with four wheels and a radio; But the engine wouldn't start, so I traded my car for a horse and cart; To help me with this heavy load.
I climbed aboard a rocket ship, but the people in the cockpit wouldn't let me in; I'm left standing on the ground, while these people fly around above my head. What a way to start my day; What a way to start my day; What a way to start my day!
CHORUS
CHORUS
It's a sight I never hope to see.
[Instrumental]
Well now I've been full-circle, but I couldn't seem to find a miracle; So I'll just keep on searchin', for a world that I believe in. Yeah I should've fixed my car; Oh, I should've fixed my car; Yeah, I should've fixed my car; Oh, I should've fixed my car!
CHORUS
CHORUS
CHORUS
It's a sight, I never hope to; Sight, I never hope to; Sight, I never hope to see!
