And who drove the red sports car from the mansion
And laid upon the grass, in summertime?
And who done me out, a high time fashion
And made me read, between the lines?
And who said, 'follow the mind, it's your only chance'
'Sit on your throne, but you gotta make it, on your own'
On your own
And who said
'Wow, look at you, you got jam on your face'!
And who did your homework
And read your Bible?
And signed your name, every place?
And who said
'Fortunes untold lie, don't go by gold
You're far better known
You gotta make it on your own, now'
On your own, now
(Instrumental background)
Spoken:
A-ha, a-ha-ha
Yeah
Is, the way ya feel like that?
Way ya feel like that, we're just beginnin'
It's just a-beginnin', baby
It's just happenin', yeah
An who looked out a window?
And it seemed like
Ya had your schoolbooks in ya hand
Could you been stayin' outta school, so long?
And I'd come to dry
An' you'd be walkin' down the street, an ya
Ya turned 'round the corner
FADES-
And go way to some Maggie's place, over there
And Maggie opened up the window
And laid upon the grass, in summertime?
And who done me out, a high time fashion
And made me read, between the lines?
And who said, 'follow the mind, it's your only chance'
'Sit on your throne, but you gotta make it, on your own'
On your own
