They say you've been around
They say you've been uptown
Funny, I was with you
I just can't recall
But they say you've been around
They say you've been denied
A chance at yourself
They say you even tried
To make a go
Funny, it's been so hard
To try and understand
They say you've been untied
I'll see for myself
It's a weird and wonderful time
It's been so long I thought I'd better ask
Let's settle it now
Isn't there something that keeps us alive
Let's settle it now
It's got to get better
And better's alright
They say you've been uptown
Funny, I was with you
I just can't recall
But they say you've been around
They say you've been denied
A chance at yourself
They say you even tried
To make a go
Funny, it's been so hard
To try and understand
They say you've been untied
I'll see for myself
It's a weird and wonderful time
It's been so long I thought I'd better ask
Let's settle it now
Isn't there something that keeps us alive
Let's settle it now
It's got to get better
And better's alright
